There comes a day in everyone’s life when they realize there must be more.
“Music was the only thing that took me there,” admits singer and guitarist Dustin W. “When push came to shove, music was the only thing left that seemed real.” It is this passion and love for music that brought the alternative rock band, Reality Addiction , finally together. All hailing from New Jersey, the band is comprised of Dustin Widofsky (Vocals/Guitars), Ben Antelis (Drums/Vocals), Sheep (Bass), and Robby Tal (Lead Guitar).
In the summer of 2007 the band released their first self-titled EP. The overwhelming response of the release drew CD sales from all over the country, and over 200,000 plays on their Myspace in a very short period of time. In September 08’ the band released their debut album Maybe Now You’ll Listen which drew sales from around the globe.
Along with being hired by a large range of colleges, festivals and parties, the bands’ appearances include: performing at Six Flags Over Georgia with Natasha Bedingfield, playing at Rutgers University with Max Bemis of Say Anything, headlining the "Break Stage" at the Bamboozle Festival at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, playing at the Virginia State Fair with the Plain White T’s, UPenn Spring Fling, Rutgers University BOTB with Ben Kenney of Incubus and then winning to go on to open Rutgersfest on April 30, 2010- which included acts like Brand New, Talib Kweli, P.O.S. and J. Cole. The band has also been aired on commercial radio WDHA 105.5 FM – The Rock of New Jersey.
In more recent news, on September 23, 2009 the band digitally released a new four track EP entitled Hello. Is This Real? which can be downloaded for free by going to our Facebook Fanpage.

Break Band Reviews of the Week: Reality Addiction & Cherry S/T This weeks bands we reviewed were: Cherry S/T [Fan Choice]: http://www. myspace. com/cherryst Reality Addiction: http://www. myspace. com/realityaddiction *I’m not sure if Noelle is writing this week. If she is I will update the blog with her review! **Don’t forget to suggest more bands for us to check out! Dani’s Review Reality Addiction was our random band of the week but I went through several random break bands before settling with this band. I think they have a lot of potential. I find all their songs to be very calming. Their vocals are amazing, I love their singers voice, it’s very soothing and even though the songs are recordings on a myspace when I listen to them I feel like the band could be in the room. They also remind me of bands that I grew up listening to when I was younger. I think that sense of nostalgia I get from their music makes me like them even more. I think if someone gave this band a chance they could prove to the world that they can make. I think their music is a lot better than some signed bands and with the right attention and help I think they could make it in the scene. Mike’s Review Reality Addiction: Wow! I think I just found my new favorite unsigned band! There honestly wasn’t a single song I didn’t like on their myspace (And with giving us 6 songs to listen to, is pretty impressive). A great example of what mainstream rock is missing out on. Reality Addiction belongs in the same category as Daughtry and John Mayer. With a good agent these guys could seriously top the charts. Favorite Tracks: People Die Building Bridges Smokescreen Catherine’s Review Reality Addiction: There is no doubt that this band has potential. They're very good, just not my kind of taste. The vocals are great; his voice just pulls you in. I found everything about this band, vocally and instrumentally to be very relaxing and soothing. Different but a good different.

Reality Addiction Debut Album by Ozglobal~Indieportal-Myspace
When I first heard this band I was instantly struck by the professional sound and thought immediately, this is no ordinary garage band! For a debut album, from a relatively young, unknown band (but not for long), this album has burst onto the market carrying everything the ep promised and so much more than we would even expect from a fully seasoned Major league band. In my opinion, RA are already there. Here we have a set of 12 tracks that is impossible to fault in any way. Not only are the lyrics of every song superbly written, but each and every one, led with perfect vocals from the lead singer/guitarist, Dustin Widofsky, with expert back up harmonies, the music, all of it drums, guitar and strings etc, are all top class. People Die Building Bridges" leads us into a journey of love, coloured by introspective and retrospective views of romance, perhaps best expressed by everybody's favourite track, "Something Like That", sure to become a number 1 hit for RA. Indeed there are several songs on this album, including "Almost Beautiful" another favourite of the peeps already, "The Story of You and I" and "A Little Light Please" I predict to make it to the charts. "No Way to Lose" is a social statement, reflecting the plight of youth in today's world. There is a raw emotion that is the signature of this band and is drawn through the entire album, but is most evident in "Bleeding Through" and "Silent World Each track tells a story to which all of us can relate, the "thing" that seems to be the magic of this extraordinary band. This album is a fully matured master work on every level. There is no direction but up, for Reality Addiction from here - and the stratosphere is looming! Congratulations RA on the launch of this brilliant debut album! MJ Ozlglobal~Indieportal

New Music Review: Kate Voegel and Reality Addiction by Little Dogs Media
New Music Review: Kate Voegel and Reality Addiction MySpace Records has a Winner with Kate and... ...Should Take a Look at Indie Band, Reality Addiction Around the Pacific Northwest, namely Seattle, WA, it is a sunny and warm day. It's one of those relaxing days where thrash or punk is out of place. So a bit of music that is easy on the ears and soothing to the heart is on today's review list. Reality Addiction is a mix of rock, pop and acoustic. From the three listings they had on their MySpace site, I'd say soft rock, which suited my mood just fine. With finely blended acoustics, wrapped lightly with drums, keyboards and electric guitars, the New Jersey natives can roll and rock with the best of them. The musicality is matched by the smooth and haunting vocals of lead singer Dustin W. and the insightful, purposeful lyrics. Smokescreen was my favorite of the three offered and I hope that the group has some driving tunes to match the smooth ones in their arsenal (and put them up on the site quickly.) Those in the New York and New Jersey areas undoubtedly already know about this gem and apparently quite a few in Israel as well. For the rest of us though, take a listen and risk a little addiction in your reality, their site is at http://www.myspace.com/realityaddiction CG Anderson Little Dogs Media

Reality Addiction Review by Union County College
As the last lyrics linger in the air, the music begins to fade. With these final notes, the crowd begins to applaud. Despite the fact that the band has only recently become famous, Reality Addiction's front man and fellow band members insist it has been a long journey full of ups and downs just to get to this point. I began my musical career at a very young age. I took up instrument after instrument. Unfortunately, like most young kids, I lacked patience and kept quitting time and again," singer Dustin Widofsky said. As I grew older, I started listening to the tunes of: Third Eye Blind, The Goo Goo Dolls, and 3 Doors Down, Vertical Horizon, Nine Days, Dave Matthews, Eric Clapton, and John Mayer. I also began refocusing my efforts on playing the guitar and listening to music not as a fan, but with a musical ear. Even then I wasn't secure with where I was at musically," he said. It wasn't until the latter years of high school that things began to change. During that time Dustin met some very talented people who inspired him to "keep the faith," and to continue playing the guitar. Among those who helped him was aspiring drummer Ben Antelis. Ben, the band's future drummer, came from a musical background and possessed a unique and natural talent -- the talent to teach. I kept telling him stick with it. 'I said if I can play so can you.' I pushed him to listen, learn, and most importantly, let himself grow as a musician," he said. Very much like Dustin's guitar skills, the close relationship between these two musicians evolved as they took their musical talents to the next level and began playing and composing music together. But, this was just the beginning. After a year of achieving success abroad, the trio came back home to their Jersey roots and began recording songs under the name Reality Addiction. It was during this time that Ben discovered the bands' future guitarist Rob Tal; an exceptional musician from Oakhurst. Rob's emotionally driven style of playing appealed to the duo tremendously and he joined the mix, allowing Reality Addiction to become even more of a reality. After a couple of years, the addition of an incredible bassist, more than 60,000 plays on their My Space, and gigs at some of NJ and NY's most popular venues, Reality Addiction released their self- titled EP this past June and are on the road to a very promising future. So what is about Reality Addiction that has fans hooked? It could be quite a few things," said Jonathan Schevelowitz, the band's bassist and newest member. I think we offer a unique blend of musicianship and powerful lyrics. Though the music we play is geared toward everyday people, the messages in our songs are left open for people to interpret as they like, thus making it unique. This also allows people to be able to relate to us," he said. Yeah… we're not into forcing the meaning of a song onto people by saying: 'this is a song about when I broke up with my girlfriend,'" added Widofsky. Though only time will tell if fans continue to crave more of what Reality Addiction has to offer, what remains to be seen is how long it will be before Dustin and his posse are etched forever in the pantheon of musical greatness. by Elie Korbman

Up Next Magazine -Reality Addiction Review by Cindy L. D'Adamo
The 5 man, New Jersey-based pop/rock band, 'Reality Addiction' has just released its dynamic new self-titled EP. I confess-I’m addicted! I stumbled onto Reality Addiction via the famous twin duo Evan and Jaron. The twins had just gotten a MySpace, and asked their mailing list subscribers to come visit. So, I slap-dashed a profile together so I could hang out with them. Evan Lowenstein and I were chit-chatting about heaven-knows-what, and along came a band I had never heard of, Reality Addiction, saying they were going to be opening a show for Evan and Jaron. I went over to their MySpace, as I will listen to anybody once, and began to listen to their music. I was simply floored, and thought, ‘WHO are these guys?’ I played every track they had up, and although I rarely directly contact any band, ever, I sent them a note saying how impressed I was, etc. They had such a professional, tight sound, a unique vibe, they had ‘IT’. I became a huge fan. So will you! So, onto some info about the band… Reality Addiction is an alternative rock-pop band from New York, New York. Formed in 2005, Reality Addiction has become well known through performing at various venues across the New York and New Jersey area. The group consists of: Dustin W. (Lead Vocals/Guitars), Ben Antelis (Drums/Vocals), Max Green (Piano/Vocals), Joe Goldglantz (bass), and Robby Tal (Lead Guitar). They have just come out with their first self-titled EP. I love it so much that I wanted to be certain my review wasn’t swayed by my ‘addiction’. So, I decided to conduct a survey, sending Reality Addiction tracks across the world, to people of every age group, from all walks of life! Here is what people had to say about Reality Addiction: Jim W., a high school science teacher from Louisiana: “Sounds like Counting Crows, only better.” Pauline K., a domestic goddess from Canada: “ They sound like John Mayer mixed with 3 Doors Down.” Diane Cameron, a jazz/R&B singer : “They sound like Evanescence meets James Taylor.” Hope S., a poet from Australia: “They sound a little like Nickelback…good stuff.” Wendy S., a broker’s assistant from CA: “ They sound kinda like The Fray.” Scott I., a high school student from PA: “Bangin’!” Colleen, a league Scrabble player from Canada: “I LOVE IT!” Tristan Waterkeyn, a singer/songwriter from South Africa: ‘They have a very good sound.’ Kelvin K., a high school student from PA: “I liked the song.” The EP is so strong-there isn’t a song on it that cannot stand on its own. Even seasoned groups usually have at least one song per album that is either weak or ‘filler’. There is no filler here; nothing is weak. Each song is different; each is tight. The EP slams open with ‘Close To You’, a song that epitomizes the band-tight, strong, lyrical and driven. The next track, my personal favorite, ‘Messed Up Miracle’ simply melts over you. The gorgeous vocals and profoundly touching lyrics brought tears to my eyes upon first hearing it. ‘Still Watching’ follows, a song that you will quickly groove along to. Get ready for the amazing John Mayer-worthy guitar intro to ‘Outside the Window’, a hard, driving track. ‘I Miss That You’, the next song, is a beautifully played, harmonic blend of songwriting skill and vocal talent. ‘Smokescreen’ follows, another tune heavily laced with the John Mayer flavor and a bit of extra energetic punch. The EP closes a strongly as it opened, with the trademark, ‘Close To You (acoustic)’, my second favorite song on here. The entire collection , in my opinion, is solidly put-together; the singing, songwriting, musicianship, and engineering of the EP, Reality Addiction, equals or surpasses anything on the commercial market today.
