To Live is to Die | Band Bio
To Live is to Die, composed of Dave Townsend, Nino Spadaro, Andy Hanna, J.J. Dunnell, and Matt Wilson, is one of the most quickly rising bands of the Cleveland area. With J.J. clocking in at 16 years old, and Nino at 15. Andy Matt and Dave at 18, they are also one of the youngest recognized bands in the area. Together they create a thick wall of hard-hitting, ear piercing, Cleveland metal noise. With each member drawing from their own individual music interests and applying it to the band's unique music theory, they result in a new breed of metal which is fresh and innovative, yet still contains plenty of throw backs to the bands which inspired them to play in the first place.
To Live is to Die, officially formed in May of 2005. They quickly assembled a long list of songs, a dedicated and quickly growing fan base, and even more so, a strong family amongst themselves. Since then they have performed numerous shows, including shows with national recording artists Mushroomhead, Unearth, The Misfits, Bury Your Dead, Dope, Dog Fashion Disco, The Alter Boys, and even more performances along side local bands, including their own headliners at respected clubs like Peabody's and The Phantasy. They also independently recorded and released a full length self-titled record. The recording was done at the Lava Room recording studio under production by acclaimed producers Mike Brown and Ryan Pennington.there sophmore release was also done at lava recording in july2007.it will be released septwmber2nd and on sale.its an amazeing collection of there newest songs.To Live is to Die's music is heavy, and at the same time is full of harmony and true musical theory, unlike many of today's bands. J.J.'s drumming is quick and technical, and lays the perfect foundation for the band. He never relies on tried and true beats, and is always on the hunt for something new to keep every song sounding inventive and energetic. And although Andys bass playing is found on To Live is to Dies debut record, Andy moved to guitar beside Nino in March 2006, with good friend Matt Wilson taking over on four-string duty. Not one to be underestimated, Matt carries the bottom end with both skill and strength. Together Nino and Andy keep the six string section held down. With each approaching every song with separate music theories, they combine their strengths to form a solid and signature sound. Daves vocals are loud and aggressive and complete the band in every way. With hundreds of bands hyping over the best screamer category, Dave stands firm in his place among the best.
Currently, To Live is to Die continues to write and play regularly in the Cleveland area. They are also actively searching for a recording company to sign and fully publish them. The band's goal is nothing less than world domination. They have, and will always continue to work as hard as they can to achieve their goals above all.
