POINT BLANK

Bio:

"Bleed"
..



Point Blank plays all original music combining many influences, chiefly heavy metal and hip-hop. Imagine Linkin Park meets Metallica. Dual vocals and dual guitars make for a thick, powerful sound, dynamic musical and lyrical composition, and energetic stage presence. Point Blank is a band of musicians with diverse talents and fountains of creativity. The result is punchy, funky, "in your face," dynamic, and intense--we call it "Digital Krunch."

This mix really grabs people of all different musical tastes in a very powerful way. People in the hip-hop/rap scene are opened up to rock and metal. Die-hard metal-heads who swore religiously that they would never accept rap as an acceptable form of lyrical expression are converted. We bridge gaps. As a result, we have thousands of fans across the US and overseas, helping us to win many awards including the 1 Most Requested Band on the Gulf 104 Homegrown show for 2 months straight. Many of our fans are devoted and have entered the ranks as "Minions of the Digital Krunch Legion." The "Minions" spread the word about our music, promote for our shows, run our merch table, and enable us to bring a crowd to almost any venue.

We have done well over 500 shows from Tennessee to Miami, and have opened up for national acts like No Address, Skindred, Mob Deep, Pepper, and Solace for Now. We have played at some high profile venues such as the Hard Rock CafÈ of Miami, The Masquerade in Atlanta, and the 2004 Budweiser Spring Break Celebration in Ft Lauderdale. Our music has received frequent radio play throughout Florida and Georgia, especially on Gulf 104 and X101.5. We are also played on numerous college radio stations throughout the country, and are part of the regular rotation in the US military radio station based in Iraq. We have been featured in several publications including the Tallahassee Democrat. We recently released our 2nd full-length studio album and are ready to go on tour and bring this act to the national level.

Beginning as a 3-piece (drums, bass, & guitar/vocals) in Miami in May of 2002, the band relocated to Tallahassee in May of 2004, and a lead guitarist was added. We have constantly evolved and refined our craft, and even our format, while retaining the unique character of our music. We are a very different band now than we were even two years ago, yet we are still Point Blank .
