GONEAWRYROCKS'S BIOGRAPHY
Gone Awry
Livonia, MI’s Gone Awry has done anything but that. The band’s career direction is the opposite of its career name. This group is one the way up with its infectious pop punk stylings. Hooky, bright, energetic and in-your-face (not to mention jam-packed with enough entertainment value to fill a music store), Gone Awry is the big new blast of music to revitalize rock and roll.
Sometimes punk is dark and nihilistic. But sometimes it’s about positivity. Such is the case with Gone Awry. Even if they’re tackling a hard subject, the music finds a way to uplift. Music calls to the members of Gone Awry, inspiring happiness, energy and optimism. Gone Awry brings this same sense of brightness and vigor to its music, fueling listeners with tons of buzz to get up, get moving and enjoy life.
Gone Awry writes music that satisfies Gone Awry. It must pass their test first. From there, it is up to the fans to embrace. And they will. “We make music for us and hope other people can relate, enjoy and sing along to it.” That’s a given. There’s no way you can resist shouting out the words along with the band as this addictive music plays. And you’ll have no problem learning the words because you’ll play this music over and over and over again. Get ready …
The entire spectrum of musical flavors brings the muse to Gone Awry’s membership, who say they are inspired by “any and all types of music.” Open minds and creative freedom are hallmarks of the songwriting process for this group. Gone Awry’s powerful musical punch has led to Gone Awry opening for the likes of The Fold, Chasing Victory, House of Heroes, Test Your Reflex and The Junior Varsity and the group has played such major Detroit venues as St. Andrew’s, The Shelter, The Emerald Ballroom, Alvins and Clutch Cargo’s. The band is “constantly playing shows.” The band is looking to tour in 2007. Writing is also a constant and the band’s second album – “Nothing Ever Lasts” – is completed. Early in 2007, fans can get another fix of Gone Awry’s signature sound. Until then, hit the shows!
