Kerosene Hye was formed in the winter of 1997. The original members are Anthony Vero(guitars) and Todd Goodwin(bass). They were in a cover band called Midnight Express throughout high school, and decided to make an original band in the winter of 1997. They first recruited Josh Gilbert, a drummer they knew from high school in the winter of '98. The rhythm section was now complete and a singer was the next goal. In February of '98, Chris Gatti had signs up looking for a band to sing in, and upon seeing this, Todd called him, and he was singing in the band a week later. They hit the bars and clubs in the spring of 1998. Since then, the band has hit the studio 2 times, and has come up with a 6 song demo.. They recorded the demo at Sapone Studios in Bethpage.

The Roadhouse in Brooklyn, Lion's Den, NYC, and Hofstra University are some of the places they have played at. They were also once a month regulars at Dr.Shay's, Lindenhurst.
