Sounds Like |
Hard rawk and Southern metal! Born to
kick in a few teeth and break a few bones. Tuned
down, cranked up, and pissed off! From Metallica to
Hank Jr. it's all good to us. It doesn't matter if
you like hardcore metal or you're an old school
country/southern rocker. We've got you covered. Try
it, you'll like it. |

All kinds of rock music from the last

Punk all mixed up into our own blend of modern rock
including bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam,
Pink Floyd, Poison, Seven Mary Three, Metallica,
Chevelle, Crossfade, and everything in-between. |

Sounds Like |
Maybe a less angsty Papa Roach mixed
with Crossfade and some Stone Temple Pilots. Just
good straight modern rock with heavy times and some
softer moments too. Listen to us and form your own
opinion. |

We truly are influenced by so many
different kinds of music, it isn't possible to list
them all here. Metallica is an obvious influence as
far as mainstream music goes, but we get ideas
anywhere from 2pac to Children of Bodom to the
Oakridge Boys. Okay, maybe not the Oakridge Boys,
but you get the picture. |

Romeo Is Bleeding falls somewhere in
the grey area between punishing metalcore,
anthematic screamo, and melodic indie rock. With a
diverse range of influences, Romeo Is Bleeding can't
be pigeonholed into a single genre. |
