Displace

Displace was formed in late 2002 by five long time friends in a garage in Richmond, California. Up beat grooves mixed with melodic guitars, keyboard mastery and lyrical melodies shape the solid sound of Displace.

The lineup also features former 3°BELOW, Unjust, Impact drummer Chris Myers on the skins rounded out by Kelly Anderson on Bass. Originally a five piece lineup with keyboards Displace has slimmed down to a four piece unit, which still incorporate keyboard melodies through sequences.
