    Formation and history (1999-2009)

    In 1999, the band that would become The Starting Line was initiated in Churchville, Pennsylvania via an e-mail from guitarist Matt Watts to vocalist/bassist Kenny Vasoli. It asked if the then fourteen-year-old Vasoli, who was at that time in a band called Smash Adams, was interested in "Jamming and shit", as the message title read. Only a few weeks later, Vasoli found himself rehearsing with his future band-mates Watts, guitarist Mike Golla and drummer Tom Gryskewicz. That year, Smash Adams released a tape, Batteries Not Included. It had 7 songs, of which only 4 were mastered. One song from that tape was incorporated into another bands work, 5 Days Ahead. They used a Smash Adams song, Kathleen, in an intro that was set inside of a car with two people talking. It was playing faintly in the background. Soon, the band started touring under the name Sunday Drive, selling out home-made merchandise and a self-recorded demo cassette titled Four Songs. Their first official release was a three-way split with The Jimmy Tuesday Band and The Commercials contributing three songs each, released on KickStart Audio in 2000.

    Biography

    1987-2009: Early life and career beginnings

    Zoe Fleury was born in Auckland New Zealand in 1988, and is the daughter of musician Johnny Fleury & teacher Ruth Fleury. Zowie began playing drums at the age of 11, and wanted to have a career in the music industry. Fleury later went to school to study drumming, and later joined various "punk rock" bands and experimented with screamo music and lyrics. This later led to the formation of the punk rock female duo The Bengal Lights. After finishing school, Fleury continued to work in the band as well as study the music business by working at Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. Zowie later began writing her own music under the name Bionic Pixie, a character she created. Under the name, she released the electronic song titled "Toss the Coin", which later began being played at various fashion shows. Despite this, the single received no official release. Under the new identity, Zowie was a performer at the 2009 Big Day Out in Auckland. Zowie later said of the experience "I was thinking that no-one was going to be there, but [I was] still excited, obviously. But then we got on stage and the whole field was packed out. Obviously everyone goes to the first stage when you're the first band playing, but in the crowd were heaps of representatives from Universal and Sony." Zowie then went on to sign a record deal with Sony,

    Best Of Me

    by: Starting Line

    Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone
    The worst is over, you can have the best of me
    We got older but we're still young
    We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
    Here we lay again on two separate beds
    Riding phone lines to meet a familiar voice
    Pictures drawn from memories
    We reflect on miscommunications and misunderstandings
    And missing each other too much to have had to let go
    We turn our music down and we whisper
    Say what you're thinking right now
    Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone
    The worst is over, you can have the best of me
    We got older but we're still young
    We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
    Jumping to conclusions made me fall away from you
    I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you
    We're sitting on the ground and we whisper
    Say what you're thinking out loud
    Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone
    The worst is over, you can have the best of me
    We got older but we're still young
    We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
    We turn our music down and we whisper
    We're sitting on the grounds and we whisper
    We turn our music down, we're sitting on the grounds
    The next time I'm in town, we will kiss girl, we will kiss girl
    Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone
    The worst is over, you can have the best of me
    We got older but we're still young
    We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
    Feeling that we can't, we're not ready to give up
    We got older but we're still young
    We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
