The Sudden Passion started off in 2005 as a collection Bradley M. Palermo's (of Electro group Femme Fatality) Indie/Alt-Country demo tracks. His most direct influences were drawn from folk rock bands and old-time country acts alike. The content of his songs revolve around his tour adventures, love sagas, and tales of barroom brawls. While all the ditties were originally showcased as solo/acoustic, the project has since evolved into a full 5 piece band featuring Shane Mongeau (Midnight Dance Craze, Femme Fatality ) Matt Henderson (ex Still Life) on bass, on guitar, Andrew Roberts on drums, and Carly J on backing vocals. "Central Standard Time", their first full length album, was released digitally and on CD in August 2010. It was recorded in in both St. Louis, MO (where Palermo is originally from) and Los Angeles, CA (where the band now resides). A collection of The Sudden Passion's demo's and live tracks, "Worst Side", were also released the same day. "Sucessful Friends", the new 5 song EP, was released in late 2011. It was written, performed and recorded entirely by Mongeau and Palermo. A video for the title track was released on October 3, 2011. The Sudden Passion released "Southern Fashion" in late 2012. The album is their second full length release, and is available on 12" colored vinyl as well as CD and compact disk. A video for the single "Don't Know Me At All" was released in Feb 2013.
