This, is A Virtue (RIP)

About Me


JOSH, JOHN AND LUCAS HAVE A NEW BAND!! ADD THEM!!
Sleeping Amongst Wolves
:BIO:
This, Is A Virtue , is an indie/hardcore/screamo band that hails from the Southeast portion of Missouri known as the "Bootheel". Cape Girardeau is the basis of where the band lives and plays. As a band coming from this area we are forced to hear alot of different styles of music, consisting of rock, rap, metal, pop, and lots of country. We strived to be nothing like the "Norm" of this area, and took the inituative to make something different in the area.
Alot of the our influeneces are not from these styles, but from the styles that can be heard in the greater St. Louis area, and all over the U.S. as well. These styles contain many of the sub-genres of rock and metal such as hardcore, screamo, emo, indie, and post-hardcore.
The live show we bring is full of energy and movement. We play to express our passions onstage. Also the pain, free spirit, and the agression that comes with that. We play to move the crowd as well, so if you are able to attend one of our shows be prepared.
In a nutshell, we are just 5 guys who like to play music. Some of us from prior bands, and some not. We are all from a rock/metal background and are just here to LIVE, PLAY, and ENJOY music.
