History

Formation

In 2014, Cory Bishop ventured out to record his solo EP entitled Cory Bishop in Nashville, Tennessee. Drummer Ayrton Gauerke played the drums on this solo project and continued to act as the drummer of The New Schematics - EP. Shortly after starting the solo EP recording process, Bishop decided to turn the solo EP into The New Schematics - EP and the band members in The New Schematics came from that. Close friend Michael Bare, who Bishop met at another show in Nashville, became the second half of the duo when this EP was created. Drummer Gauerke played with The New Schematics until drummer Danny Pratt began to fill his place (among other hired drummers) in June 2015. Pratt played with the band more regularly August 2015 through September 2016 and also recorded the band's second EP, Your Year (released February 24, 2017).
