Under the Flood Bio

Draft of the bio I wrote for rock band Under the Flood (www.undertheflood.com).

Amidst the trials and tribulations present in a continuously altered music industry, rock band Under the Flood have managed to stay alive in the fire. The Charlottesville, Va. rockers’ music was once described by Revolver Magazine as “keen melodic interplay” regardless if “they're kickin' it hard or soft.”

Under the Flood is gearing up for the independent release of their sophomore album, “Alive in the Fire.” Their debut album, "The Witness", was released in 2008 on Koch Records and was produced by Brian S. Craddock (Daughtry) and mixed by Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, Saliva).

“Alive in the Fire” tells a story about the band’s uphill struggle and unquestionable perseverance in a radically changing industry environment. The album unveils a more dynamic and darker side of Under the Flood yet still maintains their trademark melodic content and lyrical substance. “It wasn't hard finding inspiration for this record given our experiences over these last few years as a band. Those events really acted as our ammunition. We had a lot to say this time around, we made sure that we said it,” said vocalist Dave Nadolski.

Under the Flood was formed in 2005 by two brothers whose goal was to create an honest sound that would resonate with listeners of all walks of life. That goal was accomplished when the brothers, rhythm guitarist Matt Nadolski and vocalist Dave Nadolski, teamed up with bassist Kenn Davis, lead guitarist Brandon Sidebottom and drummer Russel Lee. Throughout the past five years, the band has undergone a natural progression, not only as a group but more importantly as individuals.

The band has expertly created an online buzz for “Alive in the Fire” through live video chats and streaming rehearsal footage on their official website, www.undertheflood.com. Their high energy live performances, relentless touring and flawless marketing strategies have surely guaranteed them success. Without doubt, Under the Flood has their ability to stay alive in the fire.
