About Me


In southwest Virginia, the name August has been floating around on live-show flyers for longer than most bands have been in tune.
August’s sound is pop-punk, indie rock, pop rock, new-school emo, powerpop, and sometimes acoustic. If you catch singer Eric Gress with an acoustic guitar, sitting on his porch in the early a.m. hours, you might even hear a Tim McGraw cover.
However, when playing with his bandmates, guitarist, Kevin Hayes, bassist, Jake Roseberry, and drummer, Ryan Turner, he’s likely to sound like the newest band on the Vans Warped Tour.
The band’s debut record, “Throw Hope Out The Window,” is a year and a half old now, and you’ll rarely hear songs from the album during a live set. August has been busy writing new material.
Though they have yet to be recorded, these new additions to the August catalog show growth in the band’s writing and performance, while keeping the band’s original sound. While most bands are adding a bulk of screams to attract the ever-growing hardcore scene, Gress has kept on singing. August songs are catchy, well written, relatable, and original.
