From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Storm & Stress were an American experimental rock band formed in Pittsburgh by bassist George Draguns, drummer Kevin Shea and vocalist/guitarist Ian Williams.

History
Storm & Stress released two full-length albums on Touch and Go Records and toured the United States and Europe. Ian Williams later played guitar and keyboards in the band Battles; Eric Emm sings and plays guitar for Tanlines; Kevin Shea has made significant contributions to the experimental and free jazz scenes in New York, most notably with Talibam!. In 2014 Kevin Shea, George Draguns and guitarist Nick Millevoi released an album as Form and Mess; an obvious allusion to Shea and Draguns' former band Storm & Stress.
