Origins

Founded in 2004, by the Katrivanos’ brothers after tiring of playing music in their basement. The two have become one of the best known "brother bands" the area has produced. The two decided to get serious and added long time friends Josh Goodine and Mike Schmidt to the group. Sematic has gone through several line up changes over the years, but the dedication of the Katrivanos' brothers has seen the groups first album through to completion. Known for Live show antics as well as their party mentality, Sematic has found a home among locals around our Nations Capitol. Sematic has accumulated countless accomplishments in the DC-metropolitan area. From playing college towns and major cities coast to coast, Sematic has been spreading their music with great success.

Current

The band has changed out members on guitar and bass to include Bobby Digital and Tyler Jones. In May 2008 Sematic parted ways with long time vocalist, Josh Goodine. Tim Gilbert, a Baltimore native, picked up the mic for Sematic for their 2008 tour before having to leave dude to personal issues. Steve Katrivanos has picked up the mic, unifying the brothers once more and strengthening the band's weakest position. Sematic has completed their first full length album, which is expected to debut 17 July 2009.
