Current Members: Brett Anspach, 20, Guitar/Vocals Avery Levan, 20, Bass/Vocals Danny Koury, 22, Guitar Brandon Babcock, 21, Drums Formed in September 2014, UltraViolent had a goal in mind to create music they love and share their message with the world as young upcoming artists. UltraViolent started out by performing covers locally to earn the respect of their small hometown. Once UltraViolent knew their direction was taking a more original and heavier turn, they decided to play in cities that catered more to their style of music. In 2016 the band recorded, mixed, and mastered their first EP, “Five”, all by themselves at the age of 16. The band then branched out into cities such as Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Reading to perform their original music. Eventually they were to expand to the surrounding states to perform their captivating live show. By earning the respect of fans with explosive performances and anthem-like riffs, UltraViolent was a name that quickly became recognizable throughout their local scene. In late 2018 the band released their first music video for the song “Insult to Injury”, the first single from their full length release, “Eviction”. The video gathered over 32k views and 200 shares on Facebook within two weeks. UltraViolent followed up their hit with a lyric video for the next single from Eviction, “Hay in the Needlestack (feat. Merritt Frownfelter)”, their first release of 2019. This video gathered over 15k views on Facebook. UltraViolent released their debut album “Eviction” on June 20th, 2019. Eviction is a concept album that describes the timeline between the inception of humanity, our current state of society, and its inevitable end, ultimately done by our own hand. As a result of the album’s successful reception, UltraViolent signed with DI Records in early June of 2020.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoXnqAVEOH8

On this episode of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, Jake Parks from Terachain Sky joins us for the first time. We discussed their band name PanTERA-alice in CHAINs-lynyrd SKYnyrd. I spent some time letting him know just how awesome they are live. They played the Pennsylvania Rock Show 12 last month. That was the first time that I saw them live. It WON’T be the last. We spent some time learning about the band and how they have learned what it takes to keep people at the show. Their goal… to blow you away. We talked about their recording process and learned that they are currently working on a 3rd disc that they hope to release it in February of 2017. We also discussed Utah and the Grassroots Show. I also brought up the question that we discussed on the 2nd episode of the Podcast your Scene podcast, what are you feelings on pay to play. Along those lines, I got him to drop some names of some touring bands that they have opened for: Apocalypse Blues Revue & Charm City Devils. At the end of this podcast, John “The American Hilljack” Lane joined us in the call and you can hear that over at his website on Episode 9 of The American Hilljack Files. I try to never split my podcast episodes into 2 episodes, but this one just couldn’t be helped. John took over and shined so it gets to be part of his show. Coincidentally, it is my debut on the American Hilljack files.
