About us. Let's see, we are an upstart band from Ashland, KY. We bring a style of music to all that is unique to us but still very mainstream. Very melodic vocals with hooky chorus' while staying chunky and somewhat metal with the music. We have all played in bands previous with many different styles and expereriences to get us where we are today as individuals.The band was formed in April 2008 when former bandmates Steve (guitars & backing vocals) and Aaron (bass guitar) came across Jason(vocals) through a mutual friend. After a couple of brief meetings and writing sessions it was apparent that Jason would be a great fit. He was able to take a few songs, written by Steve and Calvin Waugh, (Numb Machine, Hatred, and Faster) and do them very well, not to mention what he brought in right away with his writing style.When Jason came in it was no doubt that the ball was rolling on a very creative and solid lineup. He brings a dynamic and very memorable voice that is unique but sets well into the vision the band wanted too achieve. To go along with his vocal skills he has very unique writing style melodically and lyrically. After finding Jason is was apparent that a talented and dedicated drummer would be needed to fill out the lineup and really bring out what the band has too offer. That is when Jason made a call too a former bandmate of his.Enter Bobby (Drums) Bobby has been playing out live since he was 9 yrs. old and has defintly conquered his choice of instrument. Anything that is needed done to make a song good he will do it, and normally he will do it on his first try of coming up with something. He has perfect time, creative ways to fill in the voids in the music and can play any style needed. From then gentle ringing tones to the thunderous rolling of the double bass the sound stays perfect.Aaron had been a guitar player until he and Steve began palying together in 2006. From his rough first attempts of playing the bass guitar to prensent day, the trasformation is amazing. He really fills the void of a 2nd guitar with his very creative, fluid playing style. He for sure fits the look of a bass player and now the skill has come with it. With everyday of playing his creaativty only grows so who knows what too expect in the future.Steve has been playing guitar for nearly 12 yrs. now. He brings a style all his own when writing. With influences like Nirvana, STP, Disturbed, Dave Mathews, Goo Goo Dolls, and many many more what comes out is sometimes damgaing and sometimes gentle. Although he has never desired too be a lead guitarist he does what is needed for the music being written and played.Only time will tell what the future of this band will be, but the potential for greatness defintly exists and no one can question the drive and direction the band is moving forward with. So stay tuned too see what is next for UNLOAD.
