Biography
There are multiple artists called Fontaine.
1. Fontaine is an alternative/hard rock band from Los Angeles, CA. Exploiting a sound described as "Space anthems combined with punk fury" by Modern Drummer Magazine, Sheldon Tarsha (vocals), Shon Kornfeld (guitar), and Dennis Valles (bass) blend hard rock stylings with lush, ambient guitars and killer
vocals with a focus on great songwriting.
Formed in 1998 under the name Helen 55, the band defined their sound playing LA's Sunset Strip, sharing stages with System of a Down, Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm and many more. The band later performed on MTV's "Snowed In Undercover", and was interviewed by Matt Pinfield for the Farmclub TV show. Wanting to broaden their sound/image, the band became known as Fontaine in 2001 and replaced their singer with LA native Sheldon Tarsha. Fresh off a solo west coast tour of radio stations and small clubs (and a huge Warped Tour date with his project, Krystal Lake),Tarsha brought the vocal range, power and intensity the band was long searching for.
The group went into a Malibu, CA studio in Sept/Oct of 2002 to record their current 6 song EP. Without a full-time drummer, the band enlisted their friend
Kyle Hollinger (of the band Crazy Town) to handle drumming duties. The result is 6 incredible songs that range from all out rockers to moving ballads, all
with killer guitar and vocal hooks supported by a strong, solid rhythm section.
