We are very excited to announce that we have just finished recording our Ep with Grammy nominated and multi-platinum producer/engineer Steve Chadie. We have been recording with Steve at Willie Nelson's famed Pedernales Studios located in the hill country Northwest of Austin. We have chosen to release 6 songs that will be on the Ep set to be released April 13th @ the Parish in Austin, Texas. Where to start? The Wartime Social is a conglomerate of individually incorporated musicians brought together to destroy the earth. The band hails from Austin, Texas, also known as "The Capital of the world in rank music politics and financial compromise." Out of the droves of gigging whores, come The Wartime Social, a million miles away from anything. With a wall of rock guitars and vocal acrobatics that mirror The Mars Volta and Jeff Buckley, The Wartime Social bring a unique and powerful new genre to life. Through the combination of atmosphere and space, the band has become a part the next major musical movement to embrace everyone.
REVIEWS: They are One of the best bands to come out of the austin scene in a while.I am talking about The Warning !! (name change-Wartime Social) This is the band i've been waiting for musically and "stylistically." Breaking the boundaries from post-grunge, modern-alt, and into epic-prog-rock .Think of it like this-Tool, Zepplin, and Bowie-crash land on an island, start writing songs together- what happens is The War Time Social ! The newest, musical endeavour by former A+Machinest, and Pavlovs-Dog, as well as stage-stealing guitarist for Johnny Goudie-Ryan Holley. I've seen him performing live for years, and truly the *WarTime Social is something to be afraid of!The lineup is great, several stars in their own right.make up the band.Aaron, Barry, and Marty have had several successful bands, bringing them musically to a place that fits right in the pocket of Ryans- spacey-yet driving rock.Bringing the Low end is Canvas alumni-Brad-one of austin's finest stage-players!With that being said..the Music is Flawless! No one can cross boundaries like this.The ethereal layers of guitar sub-plotted by balls-out. steady-beats, and thick basses, create a wall of sound that feels like Muse, but with a stick of dynamite ready to blow! The over- laying guitars, and keys help fill any sonic holes, while Ryans queen-like melodies soar into new realms of vocal-mastery.I love the way they capture everything about the style, & talent in the song Wither, a song so perfect, if your spine doesn't tingle.then you are paralyzed The sweetness of Close your Eyes, shows the versatility of the band.The live show was jaw-dropping to say the least.This band is a force to be reckoned with.Don't take my word, just go see them, and don't be surprised when you are mesmerized by the audio-adrenaline-filled sound that takes over your body!I give the (WartimeSocial) a perfect 5STAR RATING! ***** They represent everything a band could aspire to be! TXMR-TIL NEXT BAND!
