Band: Pain Begins
From: Cincinnati, Ohio
Their formation story:
(Brett Alexander, guitars) "We’ve all known each other and have been friends for years. Most of us met going to and playing shows at an old venue in Covington, Kentucky called the Mad Hatter.
"Myself and our other members, minus our vocalist, were previously in a band called Cursemark. We had a lineup change with our vocalist, but wanted to continue jamming together and start something fresh. After months of writing, our current vocalist, Christian, joined the band in March of this year to complete the lineup."
Their sound in their own words:
"I would say our sound is a blend of '90s metallic hardcore and mid-to-late '00s, early '10s Bridge Nine and Reaper Records bands. Merauder, Foundation, The Warriors, and Trapped Under Ice are bands we take a lot of influence from."
Latest release info:
"Our latest release is our self-titled demo. It’s a selection of our favorite songs that we’ve written thus far that we felt best represented us as a band. It blends our influences well and we feel like they’re the strongest out of everything we’ve written up to this point. Short and sweet."
Future plans:
"Future plans for us right now is writing for a full length and playing more shows locally and regionally throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. We have some other songs that weren’t included on our demo that we may record in the coming months, but that’s kind of up in the air."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Check out Bolster, No Shot, Tight Grip, Anti Material Rifle, Overflow, and No Grave. All killer bands from our area."
