WE ARE I CREATE BUZZ WITH SIX-SONG EP AND �CONTROLLED CHAOS HYBRID ROCK�
What was the last band that managed to successfully merge classic rock�s multi-layered sound with prog metal sonic exploration?
Few have been so bold � but Boston�s We Are I are no average band.
�Everybody in the band is a really great player,� explains guitarist Rich
Chamberland. �It�s really diverse. Jay Staples (singer) is a freak �
he�s very melodic, his voice has a Freddie Mercury-like quality to
it. Keenan Wakem (bass) is amazing � his stage show is killer. New blood, Ralph Arsenault (drummer) has kicked the band up an extra notch."
On the heels of their first release, �Off the Hook,� the quartet has just unleashed a self-titled EP produced by Anthony J. Resta, who has
worked with the likes of Collective Soul, Megadeth, Perry Farrell, and
Elton John. "Listen to our music, it�s heavy but melodic, everybody sings. This is a four-part-harmony band. What you hear is what you get.
We don�t �kind of pull it off.� I like to think of us as a �hybrid band,� not alternative. We fuse together a lot of influences. When you listen to the music, you�ve got Jay delivering rapid fire lyrics, with the band playing three over four time, so it�s like Tool but a little crazier � controlled chaos hybrid rock.�
Soon after their formation, We Are I quickly made fans out of some of
the most successful and renowned hard rock musicians, including Disturbed�s Dave Draiman (who says of the band, �Their CD jumped out at us - we heard something very unique, the caliber of musicianship is top
notch�) and Godsmack�s Robbie Merrill (who is highly anticipating the group�s new release � "I just couldn't take their first album out of my CD player, I can't wait for the new stuff!").
As a result of Draiman and Merrill�s support of the group � and prime
opening spots for the likes of Disturbed, Lacuna Coil, Shinedown, and
King�s X - record labels are beginning to buzz around We Are I. With even greater success on the horizon, it�s the band�s ability to pull through the rough times that has gotten them to where they are today.
