Do you remember when all you did was sit around all day and listen to music that meant something? You would crank your favorite mix tape or blast the newest underground band that you heard about from all your friends, and everyone wanted you to make them a mix tape. You would travel hundreds of miles nation wide to see your favorite band play. You would pick up an instrument and start your own band from the ground up, just because you wanted to play. You'd start out with no money, a group of friends, and an entire scene and culture you never knew much about. Your band's first show was probably in front of between 10 to 50 of you closest friends and family. You would record your first demo D.I.Y. and end up selling them for a dollar, or just end up giving them away at shows, anything to share your passion. And you would vow to never forget what the music and the message was all about.
Never Too Late never forgot.

Hailing from Buffalo, N.Y., these hard working, blue-collar punk boys from suburbia began some four years ago as a four-member band, consisting of two brothers and their best friends. Starting with no money and only a couple of shows under their belts, N2L went into the studio. The band's demo tape fared better than average, but only some were sold and many given away. 250 tapes later, the band went back into the studio to record their first EP, "In Case You Forgot." They again released the CD on their own, making the inserts and jackets DIY style on their home PC. After distributing about 500 cd's, the band felt it was time to take it to the next level. They began playing clubs and bars at an exhaustive pace and expanded their sets until they felt confident enough to book national recording artists The Ataris, from Kung Fu Records. The bill brought out the largest crowd ever to attend a show in that venue, and N2L tore the house down rocking every last kid in the club and turning most everyone into respective fans. They reached an agreement with Chapter 13 Records in the spring of 2000 to help release the EP "After Two We Rock Out." With a thousand copies pressed, the band began playing to larger crowds on bigger bills, and began to expand their audience.

The years took Nick and Gary Huber though a handful of member changes, the most important ones being their best friends at bass and guitar. Times changed for the band, but some faces remained the same. After three years with virtually the same line-up, the bass player departed. With a major show pending and less than a month to prepare it seemed that all hope was lost. Enter bass prodigy Nathan Serinowski. With an added 5th and 6th string at bass, N2L rocked the house with what was one of their very best performances.

A few short months later the second guitarist quit, leaving the band with more shoes to fill. In a tail spin and looking at an almost certain permanent hiatus, the problem was resolved. Enter long time best friend Jay Rovillo. Jay's expertise, however, wasn't in guitar. He was a world-class drummer, and what little he lacked it talent he more than made up for in heart. Gary, who writes fifty percent of the songs, returned to his first love, the guitar. With Gary on guitar and Jay behind the kit the new line-up solidified their characteristic, homogenous blends of melodic vocals, emotionally driven guitars, and heartfelt lyrics.

The band's second EP has stood the test of time, and has shown why Never Too Late is one of the sharpest, most truthful, hardworking bands out there. The middle track on "After Two We Rock Out" earned the band a spot on the Ernie Ball stage at Warped Tour during its stop in Buffalo in the summer of 2000. The opening and the middle tracks on the six song EP on Chapter 13 Records made the list for the Sony Playstation video game, Razor Freestyle Scooter, which was released in December of 2000. N2L's music is also receiving good rotation at college campuses in California, New Jersey, Buffalo, Connecticut, and Germany, while the list grows on.

What started out as a small, underground punk band, evolved into what is now an altered state of punk and good old rock and roll. So listen to your radio and turn on your TV, because no band ever wanted to rock this hard.
