Old Accusers is a band from Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. They started in summer of 2009, after nightly conversations over coffee. Their name is taken from Plato’s “Apology”, where Socrates defends himself against the old accusers. They draw from an eclectic background of different musical styles. Thus it does not do the band justice to squeeze them into a single category. Roughly though, one might say they share similarities with hardcore, post-metal, and punk. Some of their songs are a punch to the face, while others are on the melancholic, down-beat side. The general trend in their style seems to be heavy and experimental.
They recorded their debut album “Wallowing in the Mire” with Mike Rosswog of the bands Complete Failure and Today is the Day in December of 2010. The album draws on layers of melody, and even makes use of axillary drums. The lyrics are dark and brooding, tending to deal with political, theological, philosophical, and social themes.
Current lineup consists of:
Neal Dudash - vocals, auxiliary drums
Joel Smith - guitar, vocals
Ian Nelson-Jones — Bass
Phillip Gioan - guitar, vocals
T.J. Costanza - drums « hide |
