Oath to Ashes
Oath To Ashes is a heavy metal band from Northern Arizona, founded in 2012. Members, Spike Owens (vocals, lyrics) Dan Culver (Guitar, songwriter) Justin Miller (Drums) and Jim Bakhaus (Bass) joined forces to create something new from the ashes of their former bands.
Coming together from separate bands and backgrounds, we had a variety of influences and experiences to pull from. Dan Culver (OTA lead guitarist, songwriter) has rocked massive crowds alongside national acts such as Hed PE and Powerman 5000 with Pulsic for years. Jim Bakhaus (Bass) and Justin Miller (Drums), hailing from Rome Falling were also no strangers to the stages all over Arizona alongside National acts, Cold Fusion/Defy Tomorrow and Windsor Drive. Spike’s extensive background and studies theater arts, acting, vocals and stage performance made him a perfect choice for lead vocals/frontman, and lyric writer. Then later at the beginning of 2017, Andrew joined us to become our rhythm guitarist. Having played in multiple small town project bands before he has brought a fuller sound to the band, making it all whole. Since forming together we have been creating a heavy, brutal, formidable, sound of dark introspection. Our goal is to bring this music to the world to enjoy, mosh and shake the roots of the metal you as you have come to know it!
Swindy
Swindy began life as the solo project of Randall Swindell (frontman for Ensphere) when presented with a sudden opportunity to play a show. He teamed up with drummer Mike Jenney (Alter der Ruine and Assemblage 23) and guitarist Jeff Sargent (vocalist for Industrial Band 51 PEG) for their debut in July 2016 in Tucson, AZ. Classical vocalist Alyson Precie joined shortly thereafter, in September 2016. Conceived at the start as a fast-paced project designed for a flexible, modular live performance, a Swindy show can be executed with as few as one or as many as nine musicians. Their sound has been described as “Electronic Pop Rock – with a twist of Industrial”, but the diverse musical backgrounds of the members combine to create a sound that’s not quite definable. Swindy has quickly gained momentum, releasing their first single “Reflection” (ft. John Russell) on November 17th, 2016, followed by their next single “Ignite My Love” on January 12th, 2017. The full 5 track self-titled EP, produced by Matt Good (From First to Last), was released on February 23rd. Not content with just the studio, Swindy has shared the bill with Orgy, Powerman 5000, Trapt, Otep, Dope, Combichrist, William Control, and many others. Swindy recently welcomed the addition of Jonathan Russell on guitar, replacing Jeff Sargent for the upcoming live performances. Swindy continues to book out 2017, and a full length record is in motion for early 2018.
