Beyond This Point (BTP) is an Alternative metal/ Alternative rock band originally formed in Toledo, Ohio in 2006. The band originally consisted of 5 members, all products of Toledo Central Catholic High School,. Lead singer/ Lead Guitarist Steve Phillips (formerly of Product of Neglect), Drummer Andrew Welter, Guitarist Michael Garvin, Bassist Tom Syzmanski, and Lead Vocalist, Frontman Nick Reynolds, were the original line up whom pieced together such notable songs as: “Swore it was You”, “Notice to Vacate”, and their first single, “Life Stuck in Take 2.”

As time passed and the summer of 2006 ended, changes to the band were made. Michael Garvin, who attended Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio, left to head back to for the fall semester. At this time, the band brought in Jason Fox of Temperance, Michigan to fill in. Jason Fox remains as current member of Beyond This Point. Also near this time, Drummer Chris Parton(also of former Product of Neglect) was added to the band, as Andrew Welter transitioned to keyboard and synthesizer bringing another element to the band’s patent sound.
BTP played their first show on the campus of Wright State University; this would prove to be their only show with the original 5 members.

The current band Lineup features:

Nick Reynolds—Frontman<BR>
Steve Phillips—Vocals/ Guitar<BR>
Jason Fox—Guitar

With numerous shows under their belt, BTP calls Headliners in Toledo, their primary home—the venue in which they played their first hometown show.

BTP has had the pleasure of performing on the same ticket with such bands such as Rotation (Detroit, MI), View From Everest (Cleveland, OH), Ashes of Soma (Ontario, Canada), as well as other local bands such as Dying to Know, Blunt Force Trauma and Selfles.

BTP seems to be well known for both their music and their showmanship, putting together brilliant sets filled with energy and visual stimulation. Crisp guitar spins, backflips, synchronized jump sequences, stage diving and much more. Whether a spectator from a far, or amidst a crowd of people engaged in a full-scale mosh pit, their shows have received praise from many.

In the Works
Without a true album constructed yet, recording is in the process. A few demo productions have been made, but are not widely distributed do to the lack of sound quality. A few tracks are leaked out to the Internet world, but may seem difficult to come across. Most notably, “Life Stuck in Take 2” was available for free download off the band’s myspace page.
Rumored recording is said to be being done in a private home studio just across the Michigan/Ohio borderline. There is no official release date of the album.
