Formed in 2001, Transindustria had a short but successful run. The members of the band met at University at Buffalo and practiced for the first year in a two person dorm room, presumably totally pissing off the neighbors. The band continued to play at events around campus and finally played at a battle of the bands competition on campus where they took first place. As a prize for winning the competition they were awarded a day in a local recording studio where they recorded their only demo consisting of one song.
