August Burns Red is a metalcore band from
ReplyDeleteLancaster, Pennsylvania, US. “We had our name because in high school, one of
our best friends, Jon Hershey, was also our vocalist
at the time. But, right before he joined the band, he
was dating this girl named August. The relationship
got a bit out of hand, and he really wanted to end it.
So, he ended the relationship and instead of just getting sad about it, she got really, really, really,
angry, and Jon at the time had a dog named Redd. It
was an Irish setter and it had red fur and everything.
So, she got really mad, went up to his house, and
burned his dog Redd alive, in his dog house. The
name and everything comes from, because the next day, the headline of the newspaper in the local news
was “August Burns Red,” and then we just kind of
went with it. It really affected Jon, so when we were
picking a band name, that was one that stuck in his
head, so he decided to use it. So, our name doesn’t
mean anything, it just had a really weird and kind of gross meaning.” There are a galaxy’s worth of metalcore bands
active today, but stare at all of those stars long
enough and some lines start to form; everything
starts to take shape. The Constellations begin to
bloom. Few years ago August Burns Red were, to the naked
eye, just another young band jockeying for position
in the modern metalcore scene. Then came Messengers, the band’s 2007 full-length release for Solid State Records, and a new front-runner emerged. Without hype, devoid of any smoke and
mirrors, the album debuted at #81 on the Billboard
charts, going on to ever-so-quietly sell more than
80,000 copies.
