Converge

Biography

Jacob Bannon - vocals
Kurt Ballou - guitar
Nate Newton - bassist
Ben Koller - drummer

Bannon, a graduate of fine art and design is still a very shy character preferring to stay at home with his art and greyhounds than venture into mainstream stardom. The release of 'You Fail Me' through Epitaph, has seen his band come out of the underground and show a much more pessimistic viewpoint than their debut 'Jane Doe'. Through this record he has fought his personal war against manic depression and come out the other end a stronger person. The record is about going forward in life, acknowledging you've done wrong and others have done wrong to you but moving on.

This proves that moving from the record company Equal Vision to Epitaph was clearly a positive move.

The band are no stranger to injusries as Kurt recently broke his hand, ending their tour of Italy.

Also a co-founder of Deathwish Inc with friend Ted McCarthy and Converge have many a side project - Kid Kilowatt; Nate also playing in Old Man Gloom and Bannon's solo project named 'Dear Lover' can be heard on the album 'The Blood Of Thine Enemies. Busy boys then. read less
