The Band:
How do you come up with a name for your band? For Long Island’s hottest new rock band, Ready In 10, it was as simple as a glance at a Chinese menu promising quick delivery--“ready in 10.”
The simplicity of this band ends here with the selection of their name. Individually, they’re equally talented musicians, but it’s their seamless dynamic, the way they switch from ballads to blues that leaves you with that vulnerable feeling of truly needing more. As reviewed by Shaun O’Brien in Aural Fix Magazine, “Ready In 10’s set was a mix of rock, pop and blues, they showed they could rock out with the big boys.”
Recently, “Green Eyed Girl” was chosen to be the featured song in a Sony/Ericsson advertisement on MySpace.com. The track is off the bands first full-length album Face the World which was debuted with a sold out live performance at LiveTrax in Bellmore, NY on August 5, 2006. The songs on the album range from the hard hitting “One Man Show” to the bluesy sound of “Fool” to the laid back acoustic sounds of the ballad “One More Chance.” Shortly after the albums’ release, lead singer Sal Nastasi was given the chance to sing The National Anthem at the September 1st New York Jets game held at The Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ. The band’s continued success recently earned them the chance to be the main support act for Long Island’s own, Nine Days on September 24th, 2006 at The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, NY.
Ready In 10 formed back in January of 2005 and quickly began making their presence known on Long Island and New York City. They were the opening band at a sold out Rusted Root concert only six months later! With Sal’s fierce vocals, Marc’s standout guitar playing, Mike’s flawless bass playing, and Jim’s never missing a beat, it’s no wonder why this foursome has been compared in style and charisma to top 40 stars Matchbox 20, Bon Jovi, and Maroon 5.
Although it’s only been about two yeas of Ready In 10 - it’s been years of experience and music for these four guys. They’ve all wandered through the music scene singing in other bands and playing different instruments but finally, through Ready In 10, they’ve all been able to find their place. As Sal said himself “We’ve all found a home in this band. We’ve made each other better.” They have made each other better most notably in their songwriting where Sal and Marc have really come together to form lyrics that are relatable but leave you with that urgency of wanting to know more, to know everything, to jump into their heads and even their hearts.
In simple terms, this band works. They have that thing, that thing that you can only find in great music. The evidence is there on the stage when they are playing and in the faces of the fans that are listening.
When Jared Brown of 1340mag.com reviewed Ready In 10 he saw it; “If these guys can land one big hit in their home town, national attention is likely to follow. They have that mainstream mass appeal … they have a big polished sound that should appeal to a very wide audience. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them hit it big some day soon.” And you will see it too.
