Dragged Under World Is In Your Way CD

We typically associate Seattle with technology juggernauts like Microsoft, coffee mavens such as Starbucks, and of course, the town’s rich musical history comprising the legacies of everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Alice In Chains and Nirvana. Uncompromising innovation remains the common thread between all of Emerald City’s chief exports. Dragged Under pick up this thread and run with it at full speed. The Seattle quintet—Tony Cappocchi [vocals], Ryan Bruce [guitar], Sean Rosario [guitar], Hans Hessburg [bass], and Kalen Anderson [drums] —strike an elusive balance between thrashed-up punk, pit-splitting hardcore, technical metal, and hook-y alternative. You could kickflip off a half-pipe or throwdown on a festival field to it.

Generating five million collective streaming under-the-radar, seven million to-date, and receiving acclaim from Alternative Press and more, the group’s 2020 full-length debut, The World Is In Your Way [Mascot Records], floods the game with a fresh fire as it tosses and turns amidst emotional extremes. “We don’t want to be too soft or too heavy,” says Tony. “We ride the line. We want to bring back the culture around D.I.Y., angry, aggressive, and fast music. This was the soundtrack to our youth. In our own way, we serve up that dish laced with metal, hardcore, and ear candy.”
