When you think of Austin, Texas the thought of the hardcore and metalcore genres don't immediately come to mind. Although Austin is known to many as the "music capital of the world", there are fewer and fewer decent metal bands emerging from its mediocrity plagued, and often stale, metal scene. One band, Ready The Messenger, is ready to prove that powerful and original Metalcore/Hardcore music still exists there. Since 2009, the band has had a strong presence in the local music scene, and they show no signs of slowing down. They have a constant and relentless show schedule, and are never without a full calender of performances. The band is extremely passionate about their music and it shows in everything they do, whether it's on the stage or in the studio. I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing RTM in action, and they do not dissapoint! Their music is a stunning mixture of Metalcore and Hardcore along the likes of Killswitch Engage, Underoath, and As I Lay Dying; and their live performance is as every bit intense.
If you can't make it out to any of their Texas dates, then make your way over to their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/readythemessenger and give their Fracture EP a listen. The recordings are stellar and definitely do the band some justice. Songs like "Seamless" and "Wearing Thin" are sure to empower the listener and keep you coming back for more. In an endless sea of metal music and a boundless ocean of metal bands, Ready The Messenger are making waves! - Swimming with Sharks Entertainment
