Coersion is a five-piece rock band from Upstate New York. . Formed on the mutual feeling that they didn't like most of the music on mainstream rock radio and that their previous ventures into their small, relatively nonexistent local scene weren't much better, Coersion formed out of a group of like minded individuals who wanted to make music that they would want to listen to, with the hope that other people would like it too. . With this goal in mind they set out to create a sound that would fuse some of the best musical elements of their favorite bands with the catchiness of the pop-influenced rock that dominates the music world today. . The result is a unique sound that crosses many different genres and blends many different musical tastes into their own eclectic, yet coherent, style of energetic rock and roll. . Now, after hundreds of live shows and countless hours spent in the recording studio, Coersion has successfully developed a sound that's much bigger than the small town that they came from. Their next mission to accomplish is to add to their ever growing legion of fans, starting with YOU.
Why this name?
Once we decided to create a band, the next thing was to get a name. We were just sitting around with some friends tossing names around when one of our friends came up with Coersion. We all liked it, so that became our name.
Do you play live?
We play live in venues around the Utica-Rome NY area. We have just associated ourselves with the GO MAN GO Shows to expand into new venues. One special moment was when we traveled to western NY to play a venue where we were basically unknown. It was an incredable feeling when we played in front of a packed house of people we didn't know.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We would sign a record contract with a major label if one was offered. We love to play and play many times for little money, bearly enough to pay expenses. If we come make a living at what we love it would turn a dream into reality.
Your influences?
Our main influences are bands like: Pearl Jam, Live, Our Lady Peace
