The Ghosts of Verona
We have a sound that lies somewhere between Thrice, At The Drive-in, and The Blood Brothers, with dash more sensitivity I suppose. We are influenced by Hardcor

Band/artist history
We've been playing together in this line up for over a year, but including years with a different member, it's been probably 3. Mimic, the original band, kicked out the old guitar player and instituted myself (new bass player/ vocals) and James (guitar). We got along really well, and continued with a less experimental genre of punk for our first cd: J's unite. After that, we started working with different styles, and our influeces broadened, and our sound became darker. By the time we recorded our EP, we decided we should change our name (not only to rid ourselves of the oh so common pop-punk affiliation, but because there is another band with the name Mimic on the east coast.) Our new EP was recorded at the Blasting Room, wich was started by members of All/Descendents/Black Flag. We got a great sound out of it, and the reaction from fans and even nay-sayers has been very positive. We continue to experiment and try new and different styles with our music, and plan to keep doing it for years to come.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes we play live. We CRAVE playing live, and I thinks that's a big reason we're doing this. Ask people who've seen us, there's a lot of energy at our shows. We make it a rule to go nuts on stage so the audience doesn't have to look at these statuesqe, stationary figues who look like they'd rather at home on the couch or something. There's nothing like the rush of a live show. We play in colorado, Ft. Collins, Denver, and around that region.
Your musical influences
Our biggest influences include At the Drive-in/The Mars Volta, Thrice, Sences Fail, From autumn to Ashes, The Lawrence Arms,Osker, Cursive, Deathcab for Cutie and Love Me Destroyer. Anything from post-hardcore to softer indie and back again. Our roots are in punk, but that doesnt limit us at all. We're avid punk rock fans, but we want to do something that's less generic.
What equipment do you use?
Everyday common stuff. The guitarist kids use "Metal Maniac" Pedals, they give out an awesomely crunchy and evil sound, and dont skip on the tone. ahhh, it's beautiful. Not much more to say.
