In their own words….

The Intention’ story began as a project by the Staniulis’ brothers to show off their love of jazz and funk and subsequent skills to create what is The Cheating Intention. After the Staniulis brothers came to Ithaca College, the band grew by adding roomate, Jeremy Bayes on keys and AJ a longtime friend of Aaron on Bass. Influences include Soulive, Sly & the family stone, Stevie Wonder, Raphael Saadiq, Marvin Gaye, Jamiroquai, and Curtis Mayfield. What makes their music is the catchy upbeat melodies and riffs along with powerfully sweet vocals and harmonies. The band has only been around since October 2009, but have already recorded a four track EP, and played dozens of local shows around the Ithaca area.
