Troubled IdentityTroubled Identity signs with OTB and heads into recording studio

OTB’s newly signed artists, Troubled Identity, a Chicago area alternative rock band comprised of Highland Park and Lake Forest high school students, who just opened for The Freddy Jones Band at Park West in Lincoln Park late in ’09, is now in the studio recording their self titled EP for release later in the year.

Band members include Shane Stewart on lead guitar, Max Subar on vocals, guitar and bass, Jake Nankin on drums and Alex Pomerantz on bass, vocals and guitar. More on the band…

Troubled Identity formed in 2006 when Stewart, Subar and Nankin met while students at the famed Paul Green School of Rock, which served as the inspiration for the movie “School of Rock” starring Jack Black. Pomerantz joined the group in early 2009, and the band recently won the Highland Park High School Battle of the Bands competition.

The band, which is quickly gaining a strong local following, writes and composes original music and lyrics and also performs a mix of covers. See more on the band at
