So I had a chance to meet these guys while I was recording a sound byte from their record label owner for my online radio station a few years ago at Audiofeed Festival in Central Illinois. Wow, has their style changed. I would have classified As We Are’s (stylized sometimes as AsWeARe or just plain AWA) sound as pop punk, but with a rock twist a few years back when they came out with their self-titled EP. The 3 member band consists of drummer Caden (drums), vocalist/guitarist Dale & bassist Eli. Their latest song Paralyzed takes on a much different approach. It is a straight up heavy rock song with some screamed vocals sprinkled in. Not sure if the sound is a one-off, but my guess is that they are preparing for a full-length & it will be a barn burner.
Check it out & turn up you speakers (at home of course, not work)!

I loved their debut album, and gave it a great rating on Heaven’s Metal. Interesting to see how far they’ve changed direction on the new material!
