Distant Warning is an all original, five piece melodic rock band hailing from Colorado Springs. Ron (vox) and Duane (lead guitar) first formed the core of this band way back in 1987. Since then they have played hundreds of shows in over 70 venues across Colorado and the southwest region. They have 4 full length CDs and are currently working on their first DVD. Since each member of Distant Warning contributes to the writing, the band's unique sound is comprised of their various influences.
The wide range of influences include everything from 80's "hair metal", "speed metal", and the great "arena bands" sounds of that time period. Also mixed in are heavy influences of classical, jazz and "classic rock" of the 70's and 80's. We are also big fans of "progressive metal", "european metal" and "nu metal" styles which have left their marks on our collective psyches. Quips Duane, "There are some really talented young rock bands out there that did their homework and focused on their musicianship. Those are the bands we tend to gravitate toward." We even have some power ballads and some bluesy stuff as well.
Distant Warning has opened for national acts such as JACKYL, KISS ARMY, HEAD EAST, FRANK HANNON and EDGAR WINTER.
Vocal harmonies, guitar harmonies, blistering guitar leads, earthshaking bass, and thunderous drums! That's what makes Distant Warning one of the region's favorite melodic rock bands.
