Debris

Debris is a Boston-based hard rock wrecking machine, hell-bent on annihilating everything in sight. Lollipop Magazine calls Debris's music "A roller coaster of longing, violence, introspection, and ass-shaking groove." Their crushing blend of melody and aggression has brutalized many an audience. Venues Debris has decimated include: Bill's Bar and The Hard Rock Cafe in Boston, Middle East Upstairs & Downstairs, T.T. the Bear's, and The House of Blues in Cambridge, The Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester, The Rockpile in Saugus, and Sharky's in Nashua, NH, where they won the Rockfest battle of the bands.

Debris has received airplay on WBCN, WAAF, WFNX, and WCUW 93.1 in MA: Rock101.1 NH: and KMRQ 96.7 in CA. They appeared on the 2001 Berklee Career Music Expo compilation CD, a 2002 compilation benefiting The New York Fallen Firefighters and Rescue Workers Fund, Canada's Underworld Muzak compilation series, multiple Lollipop Magazine compilations, and have self-released an enhanced live CD. Debris' latest release, The Lost EP, is an enhanced six-song EP featuring their single, "Thru This."

Debris's influences include Korn, Metallica, Tool, Faith No More, Incubus and Rage Against the Machine - but Debris's music can't be placed comfortably into one genre. Bryan Bales's ballistic drumming and Steve Ordonez's heavy, fluid bass lines provide a solid foundation, upon which Justin Ballard's 7-string explosion of brutal riffage and Michael Dudas's effects-laden guitar swirls create a dual sonic punch. Atop all this is a barrage of vocal shrapnel consisting of Ballard's melodic growl and backups from Dudas and Ordonez.

The seismic power of Debris, combined with their take-no-prisoners outlook, has made them a foreboding presence in the Boston music scene. Stay tuned for further destruction.
