The sky is the limit when a group of individuals come together with a shared vision of success and creative expression. In the case of Dayton, Ohio’s KATIUS, five friends have dedicated themselves to bringing their rich vocal harmonies, melodic guitar riffs, and irresistible hooks to the rest of the world.
Formed in early 2005, KATIUS combines influences such as Blink-182, Lostprophets, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day with their own distinctive musical approach to create a sound that is raw but refined, loud but subtle, and unique yet familiar.
With Kyle Elwood on lead vocals, Danny Adams on guitar, Kevin Peterson on guitar and vocals, Drew Phipps on bass and vocals, and drummer, Kyle Steele, KATIUS pours their collective souls out on stage creating an enthralling live performance where audience members simply cannot take their eyes off the stage.
Their first two studio recordings, “Don’t Give ‘Em The Stick!†and “The Getaway" put them on the map, and their third recording that has yet to be named and will be released in summer '08 will likely catapult them into the national spotlight. They’ve already had a taste, as their energetic live shows have landed them primo opening slots for bands such as Colbie Caillat, Red, Dead Poetic, Showbread, Sullivan, Run Kid Run, The Wedding, Last Tuesday, and many others.
KATIUS plans to “maraud for ears,†playing their music for as many fans as possible, and look for their upcoming summer tour in support of the new album.For the latest information on gigs, merchandise, and other KATIUS news, be sure to check out www.myspace.com/katiusrocks and www.purevolume.com/katius
