The Building is brothers Anthony and Angelo LaMarca from Youngstown, Ohio. In May 2015 Angelo and Anthony started recording a new album called 'Reconciliation' with Gary Rhamy at Peppermint Recording Studio in Youngstown, a place made famous by their multiple Grammy-award winning Polka recordings.

Some of the songs they were working on examined some of the choices their dad made in his life while dealing with an MS diagnosis in his late twenties.

Questioning how people deal with tragedy, whether they know it is coming or not. A few months later Anthony found out he had Multiple Myeloma (bone marrow cancer), throwing him into the same situation he had been writing about.

They finished the record by the end of the year, half recorded before knowing what was wrong and half after, with the health news obviously influencing the songs.

It can be an intense listen; dealing with confusion, fear, not knowing what's coming or how it will work out, death.

Their goal though was not to provide more problems, but to find peace in the situation, to try and navigate this all with consideration and patience.

The goal is to get rid of all fear, especially of inevitable situations.
