History
UnTeachers started in 2006, but didn't really progress until 2012. The band started with Brainchild/Founder Stephen Sarro. In 2011, he put together an official line-up, consisting of Bassist Brian Denny, Drummer Thom Lambert, and Keyboardist Seth Luzier.
The band recorded their debut EP, titled Untantrum, cleaverly named after Sarro's and Luzier's band, Tantrum of the Muse. Lambert left soon after this release and was replaced by Sarro's cousin Travis Turner, who played drums for Aletheian, Solamors, and multiple other bands.
The band did a split 7" with Grace & Thieves, which was released via Veritas Vinyl, in 2012. Denny and Luzier left the band soon after that release. Bassist Josh Kale came into the band to replace Denny.
In 2014, the band released their debut and highly acclaimed album, A Human Comedy.
The band is currently working on new material.[citation needed]
