Past: Hailing from Lorain, Ohio, The Loud have been busting Clevelands skull since 2003 with their unique blend of hardcore/arena rock. The group has become almost as infamous for their stage show as for their music, which includes smashing instruments, outrageous costumes and kung-fu fighting audience members onstage. The group is nothing short of fearless when it comes to their music, ministry and the harm that may come to them during their performances. Over this past three years, The Loud have opened for Drykill Logic (Repossession records), Dead to Fall (Victory Records), Pillar (Flicker Records), The Chariot (Tooth and Nail/SOLIDSTATE) Above This Fire (Life Sentence Records), Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster (Mono Vs. Stereo) Dozen Dead Roses (THE BEST BAND EVER!), Ringworm etc. Present: 2006 is already shaping up to be the stuff of legend. The Loud Militia hit the road on June 5th to wreak havoc for 30 days of the 2006 Extreme Tour. The group has also been receiving radio play in 54 cities across the U.S. and Canada on the RED LETTER ROCK 20 Countdown.
