Metanoia means "change of heart/mind"

Our story is no different than any other band's. We are a group of motivated musicians who wanted to "be in a band," just like any other teenage musician. But Metanoia's chemistry is what makes them a unique, original, and capable music act in the local music scene. Each of the members understands one another, and their music is but one byproduct of this. Yet while full of potential, the band constantly seeks exposure in the Bay Area music scene. (So book us some shows; we'd greatly appreciate it!) Now for the real bio: Metanoia is comprised of five kids based in San Jose, all looking to create something new, fresh, and innovative. Guitarist Daeho Kim met with drummer Jordan Chin during summer school, and they jammed. The two of them clicked right away, and wrote what is now called "Hawaiian Luau." Just weeks after, Daeho brought along the rest of his band -- lead guitarist Ian Harshman and bassist Tyler Gary. Several months later, Peter joined the group to sing lead vocals, and this formed the current Metanoia, (whose prior names include "Touch It" and "Da Bobbleheads" haha). Metanoia's influences are all over the place, and the group does its best to reflect their wide range of musical influences through their own music. Anything progressive, technical, intricate, melodic, heavy, thought-provoking, cheesy, and/or "wanky" catches Metanoia's attention. Music aside, we are all very nice guys who you wouldn't be embarrassed to introduce your parents to. So feel free to talk to us any time!
