SlowMotionNoise officially began in 2005 after a renaming of Sean Sheridan's previous solo project Project Double Ess. In 2007, SMN turned into a full band, with Sean on vocals/synth, Matt Taylor and Jason Haist on guitar, and Dave Bembenek on bass.
During the first half of 2009, SlowMotionNoise saw the departure of Matt and Dave. Shortly after Dave's departure, in June of 2009, Kristin Cavarsan joined the band as the new bassist.
January of 2010 brought a new sound to SlowMotionNoise with the addition of second vocalist Dannie Wright.
In May 2011, original guitarist, Jason Haist, left the band to pursue his hip-hop career.
After months of inactivity and member departures, SlowMotionNoise announced their indefinite hiatus in July 2011. However, in late October Sean stated that he has plans to revive SlowMotionNoise in 2012 as his solo/side project, bringing it back to its original state, however, no new songs have been released since 2014.

SlowMotionNoise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her beauty lost behind the makeup rolling down her cheeks
So lost, alone she feels that no one's ever there for her
And then she finally hears the music
Just Dance!
You're gunna make it through the day
Stop your crying girl, I know you're gunna be okay
Fight back the tears, go have some fun
It's still early and the night has just begun
Dance with the world, sing your heart out
Forget your pain, dance, scream and shout
LET'S HIT THE DANCE FLOOR!
Free from her cage. No longer bound by loneliness.
She takes the stage. A star inside shining so brightly.
No more fears. She'll just move on until his return.
As her teardrops stain the dance floor.
Just Dance!
You're gunna make it through the day
Stop your crying girl, I know you're gunna be okay
I know you miss him, but he hasn't left forever
Fight back the tears, go have some fun
It's still early and the night has just begun
Dance with the world, sing your heart out
Forget your pain, dance, scream and shout
Her tear drops stain the dance floor!
She misses him like never before
Just Dance!
You're gunna make it through the day
Stop your crying girl, I know you're gunna be okay
I know you miss him, but he hasn't left forever
Fight back the tears, go have some fun
It's still early and the night has just begun
Dance with the world, sing your heart out
Forget your pain, dance, scream and shout
