Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #7: Remainder

Every day I'll be posting an Artist Showcase--a short introduction to each one of the bands playing Mass Recovery Fest this year. I've been lucky enough to enlist the help of Tony Marciello who wrote half the reviews including this one.

Remainder



Formerly C’est La Guerre, Remainder is one band’s ode to 90’s screamo, and it’s pretty awesome. Both melodic and grating, the band revolves around distorted guitar and thunderous drums and bass while vocalist Chris Childs screams his heart out. Their sound anchors somewhere between Refused and the slowest Converge and though this band is still in its infancy they certainly have the potential to be the next Page 99. In addition to Childs, band members include Kevin Smith on drums, Sean Cody on bass, and James Kelly on guitar and background vocals.
Remainder currently plays between Boston and Rhode Island, and just finished recording their first full-length, “Set Aside Your Fears,” with plans to release it April 3rd at the URI Coffeehouse. They have a bunch of other shows lined up in the next few months, one being Day 2 of Mass Recovery Fest on April 10th.
