about ultrachronic
Drawing its musical inspiration from bands such as 311 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Rage Against the Machine and Primus, Ultrachronic brings a brand of sound whose aggressive and provocative hybrid stylings are balanced by its persuasive hooks and pop sensibilities.
Ultrachronic broke out onto Denver's burgeoning music scene in early 2005 and proved its success by becoming "one of Colorado's best up and coming acts" [Colorado Music Buzz, June 2006]. Gaining its notoriety by playing Colorado's most reputable venues, Ultrachronic has garnered a strong following and has drawn sellout crowds both as a headliner and as a supporting act.
After rising to the top as one of Denver's strongest emerging bands, Ultrachronic's ride came to a screeching halt in the summer of 2006 when guitarist D.Scott Morris was diagnosed with an extraordinarily rare, but benign tumor in his chest that was up to 20 centimeters in width. After undergoing thoracic surgery and making a remarkable recovery, D.Scott and Ultrachronic are back stronger than ever and are picking up where they left off - armed with new songs, an upcoming LP, new life, and new energy. A post-hiatus debut at Albuquerque's Hyperactive Music Festival and Conference kicked off Ultrachronic's climb back to the top of Denver's music scene in May of 2007 - and the band is continuing to gain success both at home and in new markets.
Ultrachronic's bread and butter sound can be described as the fusion of funky bass, aggressive beats, flowing rhymes, infectious melodies, and gritty, funky guitars. Their mission: to get their people hopping. Visit Ultrachronic on the web at www.ultrachronic.com for songs and information on the band, and to sign up for news and ticket alerts to upcoming shows.
