Classic quintet from south jersey consisting of talented late teen musicians. Formed at the end of 1999, broke up in spring of 2002 due to band member complications and genre disagreements. A Long Winter could be classified as melodic metalcore, but had plenty of soft and clean voice parts as well. They played shows with the likes of Atreyu, A Life Once Lost, Premonitions of War and This Day Forward. Dave Stahl on vocals, Adam Staszewski on lead guitar and pedals
