Peril Per Capita

about

Peril Per Capita is a Chicago land three piece group that formed in 2005 when the members were freshman in high school. The members consist of Marc Reichel (Guitar/Vocals), his twin brother Tim Reichel (6-string Bass), and Myles O'Donnell (Drums/Vocals). Former members include Ricky Lucio (Rhythm Guitar). At the beginning of their career, the music they made was focused more on the post-hardcore/screamo side of music, with the band taking a lot of influence from bands like Alexisonfire, Avenged Sevenfold, and At the Drive-In. Marc's vocals consisted of screams, while Myles sang. Though the music had a heavy feeling to it, it still managed to show the experimental side of the band that was to come later in their time as a band. As time went on, Peril Per Capita cut back on the hardcore side of their music and began to take a more experimental and progressive approach to their songwriting. Marc cut back on the screams and began to sing along with Myles. During this transition period, the band upped the technicality of their music significantly. Eventually, the band decided to become entirely instrumental to focus on what they consider to be the most important part of the music- the instruments. Peril Per Capita was a co-founder, along with Pisces at the Animal Fair, of the music/art collective Unicom. Unicom was comprised of young fans of music, musicians, artists, writers, and many other varied types of people mainly from the western suburbs of Chicago. Unicom bo
