Since 2012, DUCRU has been carefully piecing together the story of their musical career. Through their music, the composition of their lifelong friendship breathes a cohesive tone. The band dives through long delicate bridges before it hits an explosion of honest sounding rock music that has its own authentic character. DUCRU is on a mission to revive rock music from its dirty organic roots and bring it out of the commercial gutter that it’s been in for the past decade.
In 2013 DUCRU released their first album “A Language Apart”, which was produced/mixed by The Mars Volta/At The Drive-In sound engineer, Matt Bittman. The album received rave reviews nationally across various press outlets and received national airplay on Internet and FM radio. The band played at most of the venues in Baltimore and also Main Street Music Festival in 2014.
“Around The Bend” is the band’s latest release (2015). It was tracked LIVE in Wright Way Studios of Baltimore, MD in the summer of 2014 and mixing/mastering was completed in spring of 2015. It bleeds interesting, twisted guitar tones and interwoven melodies that express the honesty that’s been missing from the Rock genre for quite some time. With less of a pop vibe than “A Language Apart”, the latest release from DUCRU is more mature and sophisticated. The band plans on touring extensively in support of it in fall of 2015.
What more needs to be said? These guys are a great band that puts the time and effort into every track. One of my favorite featured bands I finally got the chance to sit down with Andrew, Ian, and Kris in studio to discuss the finer aspects of each song and what it's like to live the band life.
For us here at Unsigned Countdown Podcast it's the greatest achievement to find a band like these guys and have the chance to talk candidly with them. While anybody can find and listen to a commercialized band that their friend love, we are searching every day for something more. The Band that is struggling day in and day out to perfect their sound and are putting in the dirty work. Touring, practicing, and working for only the love of music.
You might have noticed a bit of a change in the format here. It's intentional and amazing. Free from the shackles of constriction. We are doing now what we love to do. In the coming months and years you will be offered a new way. A podcast broadcast devoted to the promotion, and growth of the Unsigned Independent movement. Through interviews album release episodes, music based conversation, both indie and commercial, and the return of our Bandangout episodes. We will be constently on the hunt for the best people to offer the best insights about the industry you love to struggle in, and we will have a blast doing it. We've always said that we don't do this to be stars, we do this to find them, promote them, and learn from them so that you may find a bit of knowledge that will help you in some aspect of your career.
