A unique, energized blend of old school and new school punk rock with melodic, technical guitar
playing, vocal harmonizing, and solid, fast-paced drumming.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Dissidence was created in July 1999 in Franklin, TN. But it wasn't until 2002 when their passion
developed into something unique. They added the talents of a great drummer and excellent bass
player then turned their sites on finding the right vocalist. After a 6 month national search, they
found the right guy from Jacksonville, FL. Their first released music tracks held the # 1 rating
several times on the Vitaminic.com site consisting of over 7,000 bands globally. Their new 3
song demo, released on 12/12/2003, had 2 of their songs nominated as “track of the day” on
Garageband.com and was featured on Radio Underground and KSCQ FM-92.9 weekly punk
radio special "The Virus" in Silver City, New Mexico, while receiving top 10 honors on SuperNova.
com, Broadjam.com and UpBeetMusic.com. The band held the # 1 most requested song on
Musician's MP3.com, of all genres, for six straight weeks. American Dream Clothing in
Jacksonville, FL recently announced their sponsorship of the band. A unique, energized blend
of old school and new school punk rock with melodic, technical guitar playing, vocal harmonizing,
and solid fast-paced drumming.
