Band: Ditch
From: Seattle, Washington
Their formation story:
(Seth, drums): "Christian (bass) was looking for cheap drum gear on Instagram. I agreed to meet him at a gig at Rojos in Seattle to drop off some gear. His band Adipocere was playing, and after the gig, we decided to start a band with our buddy Gilbert (vocals). We wrote three songs during our first practice and went from there."
Their sound in their own words:
"Our sound is a mix of hardcore, thrash, and punk. Most of our songs have really fast parts and really slow parts. Some influential bands for us are Leeway, Cro-Mags, Gag, and Cold World."
Latest release info:
"We recorded the demo in our practice space through a crappy mixer into Christian’s 2-channel audio interface. Gilbert came a couple of days later to record vocals, which are all in Spanish. The songs are about corruption and how the government sweeps the people it’s supposed to represent to the side, forcing people to work til their dead for no benefit."
Future plans:
"Right now, we’re on tour with Cherub Chains in California. After California, we have a few April shows booked in the Seattle/Tacoma area. We have a few songs ready to record for an upcoming EP we plan to release in late summer."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Impertinence, Cherub Chains, Ritual Killing, Don’t Sweat It, Paperclip (RIP), Chopping Block, Next Objective, Thermal Vision, Adipocere, Spurr, Skelm, Exit Wound."
