Immune is the marching band to either the apocalypse or redemption - take your pick. To them it might be the same thing. But whether heaven or hell is their destination of choice, they'll make the trip with churning choruses, anger and wit, a split screen of empathy and defiance. And did I say we could all merrily sing along?
"I come alive when I notice the difference it makes
Because I'm putting you back in your place" (In Your Place)
Immune was crystallized in Providence, Rhode Island by songwriter Rob Shulze, escaping to that non-descript wannabe metropolis from a childhood so soaked with trauma that any description would sound like an overwrought Lifetime TV mini-series. A musical scream in forlorn Rhode Island would be lost in the din of a passing Amtrak train, so Los Angeles seemed a better setting for broken dreams to trump no dreams at all.
"I will scream until I'm out of air
I lose my sanity the longer I'm here" (Scream All I Want)
A changing of the guard was in order and new conscripts from Seattle (Johnny Skaare, Drums), Virginia (Drew Worsley, Bass), and Brazil (Joao Estrella Brandi, Lead Guitar) found Southern California refuge under the flag of Immune. Their collective resumes included bullet points and rest stops in B-movies, porn films, Hollywood blockbusters, real estate, and Burger King.
"If I can't be someone of consequence
I'd rather die than have to crawl" (I'd Rather Die)
Immune's infectious musical mixture of larceny and lace ultimately reached receptive ears through multiple placements in video games, feature films, and on a wide spectrum of TV shows while the band played as many live shows as Los Angeles and the surrounding zip codes could accommodate. An overflowing file cabinet of rave reviews followed suit. More than 20,000 EPs wound up in the possession of a devout fan base.
"The way I'm living is dangerous
I need a reason to care so I feel alive" (3 Feet Deep)
In 2008, legendary platinum-encased producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down) put her master's touch on a 3-song EP which brought their sound and passion to exponentially more listeners across the globe. Now, Toronto-based production wizard Brandon Friesen has taken the band to new sonic heights with a pair of surefire hits. Bet against it, if you dare.
Yay. I checked on it yesterday and it wasn't up. Yeah, find it a little ironic that the CD ended up in New Zealand (further from America than Australia) before it ended up in Australia!
Hey guys, For some reson, just now realized there was a mailing list and the street team, so I requested both. Hope its been a great week, and I hope you have a fuckin' rockin' weekend! Thanks for being the best!
Hey guys, Hope you had an awesome weekend! I joined the street team this week, so currently awaiting my instructions... hope everyone is well and feeling great, so bad-ass rock you'll still create!

Hey guys, Just wanted to say the weekends pretty much here, and I hope you guys have a kick-ass one, as always.. did you hear anything back from EVERCLEAR on the Anaheim show? And any closer to final production on the new stuff? Just curious, as the gospel of Immune may need to be revised, so as to be sure I am preaching the truth... keep fucking rocking!
