Band: ZINC
From: New Hampshire & Maine
Their formation story:
(Cam, vocals): "We've all been friends forever and playing in various bands together over the years. Logan moved to LA for a while but moved back a little over a year ago so we started talking about doing this band and got to writing immediately.
"Things came together quickly and we started playing shows at the end of last summer all while continuing to write new stuff. I think it's important to keep the creativity flowing and bring new ideas to the table when you can."
Their sound in their own words:
"I would describe our sound as a mix of hardcore, power violence, and grindcore, influenced by bands that are fast, loud, and relentless."
Latest release info:
"We just released our debut EP a couple of weeks ago. We wanted our first release to be more than just a demo so we took some extra time to do it properly. Some songs were written a few years ago and some were newly written but we kept the focus of consistency so it flowed well throughout.
"Lyrically, these songs are less about personal experiences and more about relatable situations somebody most likely experiences at least once - just angry and vengeful."
Future plans:
"We're heading back into the studio next weekend to record a three-song promo which should be out this summer, finishing up writing for our full-length LP that we plan to begin recording in the fall, and we've got some cool shows that are soon to be announced as well as currently planning a tour for September."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Listen to Headcase, Retract, Qualms, and Secret Work."
The ZINC EP is available on cassette via Version City Blues.
