Akimbo

Following band’s inception in the late ’90s, Seattle hardcore unit Akimbo got to the street, relentlessly touring the united states over time and departing a path of destruction in its wake. The music group — made up of Jared Burke Eglington (acoustic guitar), Jon Weisnewski (bass/vocals), and Nat Damm (drums) — acknowledged the thunderous strength and sonic explosion of its music to affects which range from the traditional rock of Dark Sabbath and Led Zeppelin towards the behaviour of Dark Flag as well as the Melvins. Dealing with numerous labels during the period of about five years, Akimbo released four produces — Military of Bad Robots Programmed for Human being Damage 7″, Harshing Your Mellow, Town of the Celebrities, and Elephantine. Early 2006 discovered the hard-working music group issuing its 5th ruthless recording, Forging Metal and Laying Rock, through its fresh home at Option Tentacles; the record presented second guitarist Patrick Cunningham. Touring adopted the discharge, including dates assisting Plot to INFLATE the Eiffel Tower. From printing since its initial 2001 launch, Harshing Your Mellow was later on reissued in Feb 2007 as well as the band (right now right down to trio position with Aaron Walters managing electric guitar) backed it with an increase of rounds of displays. That September, Substitute Tentacles released the band’s heaviest record up to now, Navigating the Bronze.
