about
There is more than one artist with this name: Native is from Northwestern Indiana and have quietly built themselves a large word-of-mouth following in the underground as an incendiary live act. The iconoclast group’s impeccable musicianship, ominous chords, apocalyptic vocals and innovative rhythms hit with an intensity that can only be described as akin to a white-knuckle thrill ride. There’s as much suffocating darkness as there is thoughtful focus to Native’s intricate song structures and pensive lyrics. There’s a dark foreboding in the guitar lines simultaneously pushing and pulling, the whole band embracing and tearing apart musical convention with the unpredictability of a protest gone awry. The four piece have self-released two demos and an EP in April 2008 titled "We Delete; Erase." In their first year of existence they played over 150 shows and toured four times (three times through the Midwest and once through the east coast). In October of 2008, Native signed with Sargent House and began work on their first full length album titled "Wrestling Moves." It received a digital release in November and of 2009 and a wider release in January 2010. The band toured relentlessly for the next several years. They released their sophomore album Orthodox on August 22, 2013.
