Alamance

ALAMANCE delivers a new take on Alternative/Rock/Metal genres with a softer electronic atmosphere.This 4-piece suit founded by singer Josh Sorhagen and guitarist Matt Pryor have had many reincarnations of the band since 2004, originally taking root in New Jersey. Since that time, the band has shared the stage with acts like Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, The Jonas Brothers, Jesse McCartney, Hidden in Plain View, Underoath, and All Time Low, among others. The band has played overseas, was on multiple dates of The Vans Warped Tour from 2006 to 2009, and has premiered on MTV. After relocating to Oregon in 2013 and the search for a new sound, they found bassist Ivan Calderon and later added drummer Ålexander Zettas, solidifying their line-up. The group is expected to release singles and content throughout the year of 2023 and perform throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Their debut album is a dynamic representation of what is possible in the world of Prog, creating vast musical landscapes of a wall-of-sound and going to the sheer nothingness of just a heartbeat on the turn of a dime. Throw in a sense of melody that will stick in your brain and you’ve got a recipe that the band is proud to live by.
