Coersion
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.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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.
Your musical influences
Our main influences are bands like: Pearl Jam, Live, Our Lady Peace
