10/18/2016- Troubadour, West Hollywood– When his band, Chicago based-Heart-Set Self Destruct disbanded, Dave Naruszewicz, didn’t waste any time. This wasn’t the end, but a chance for a new beginning. He started working with musicians in the Chicago area, but didn’t find what he was looking for until he got his friend Drummer Russell Ray and Guitarist Shawn Patterson involved.
The band later expanded to include former Breaking Benjamin Bassist Mark James Klepaski and former Thrown Into Exile Vocalist/Keyboardist Evan Seidlitz, and VYCES was born. Equipped with an incredible line-up of musicians, they give us a perfect rich blend of melodic hard rock with a throat-shredding metal.
VYCES has a flexibility that goes from blistering to tempered, and are definitely making a good first impression.
In between loading in and their performance at The Hellrzzr Tour kickoff show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, we had a chance to talk to VYCES.
The debut EP “DEVILS” out now was produced by Augustus Cryns (Stitched Up Heart, XO Stereo, The Dead Rabbits and Westfield Massacre) and can be purchased on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/album/id1152758197?ls=1&app=itunes .
