From the Metal Blade Web Site:
3 is a band apart: Dark yet uplifting, spiritual without any
connection to religion - theirs is a sound that transcends the
genre conformity of modern pop culture. Rapid-fire acoustic
guitar infused with dynamic percussion, animated drumming and
thunderous bass culminate in a listening experience that is at
once accessible and unique. Poly-rhythms pulse within a symphony
of driving metal guitars and melodic vocal acrobatics. 3 offers
musicality without pretension. We double dare any music writer
to describe the sound.
The Woodstock, NY-based group came together in the mid -1990's
and very quickly developed a strong local following. In the year
2000, 3 landed a recording contract with Planet Noise Records,
and released their debut CD, Paint By Number, an exquisite
collection of 14 tracks. The CD received international airplay
and enthusiastic reviews. It has been a steady seller through
in-store and on-line distribution.
In 2003, 3 released their follow up CD, Summer Camp Nightmare,
an album that marked an evolutionary leap in the bands already
highly developed sound. When fellow NY-based rockers Coheed and
Cambria got their hands on this record they insisted that 3 hit
the road with them, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Enter 2005, the band singed to Metal Blade Records and prepared
the re-release of Wake Pig, which was previously released by
Planet Noise Records in 2004, with new art and lyrics which were
not in the earlier version, two new songs, a couple of remixes,
and Max’s vocals added to the song “Where’s Max”. One can
definitely expect to see great things from this band who has
already received over 147,000 downloads at PUREVOLUME.com, over
27,000 plays at MYSPACE.com and already toured or played shows
with bands like Coheed & Cambria, Underoath, Boys Night Out, Bad
Brains, The Bronx, Orange 9mm, Vendetta Red, and Your Enemies
Friends, and many more. Already a favorite in the underground
and never one to forget their grassroots 3 is on the verge of
something big with the re-release of Wake Pig on November 1st
2005. Expect to see the band on the road starting in early 2006
where they are sure to turn the heads of any who cross their
path!
