When you take four guys with four different influences and styles and throw them together, you get the band that is Dispute to Flames. With ear shattering drum work, bluesy bass lines, chugging guitar riffs and a scream that will tear your face off, Dispute to Flames have accomplished a lot since its birth in October of 2004.
Dispute to Flames consists of front man Andrew Padilla, drummer Nick Repice, bassist Steve Koob, guitarist Chris Ecochard and rhythem guitarist Mike Koenig. From Bergen County, DTF throws in all elements of music. Their main goal is to sound different than every other heavy band out there. DTF cannot be lumped into one particular genre. Every song has a different entity and feel. Comprised with variations of metal, punk and straight up rock and roll, DTF’s live show is filled with great energy and power.
DTF has an impressive list of venues and acts that they have been able to share the same stage with. Having had the opportunity to play at CBGB not once but twice before their eviction, playing there was a huge step for them.Also, playing multiple shows at Starland Ballroom opening for Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister and the amazing Pink Floyd Tribute-THE MACHINE. Their pinnacle moment was scoring two dates as the only unsigned band on the Sounds of the Underground Tour at Starland and Electric Factory in Philadelphia.
They are just four regular guys who love music, love being on stage and showing people what they got!
