Funny yet with a serious appetite to make music, \u00a0They Exist <\/strong>is a three-piece progressive metal band hailing from the Syracuse\/Oswego<\/a> area.<\/p>\n

Once a quartet they came across line-up changes like most musicians; losing a drummer and a guitarist. Zach switched to bass then back to guitar. However, even with losing a few members they decided to stay strong and stick with it. Fortunately, the remaining three members came across Jarod. \u00a0Jarod joined the band after talking to one of the current member’s brothers and seeing them play. Upstate Metal’s Steve Strader<\/a> was able to talk to Dan (bassist) a bit and he said they might be adding a keyboardist which will give them more opportunity to expand their sound.\u00a0 When you go to a show expect your ear drums to explode cause they hit you from all angles with their diverse sound which ranges from jazz to jam – all in one song. \u00a0They Exist doesn’t let genre labels stop them, they have a fun, “can do” attitude, and the willingness to expand. You can find them on Facebook and they are currently accepting new bookings. You won’t be disappointed with their presence. The 315 Street Team will be out promoting them and other great local artists, too. \u00a0You can find upcoming local acts at their Facebook page (link below).<\/p>\n
