{"title":"Violent Sons","description":"\u003cp\u003eViolent Sons features members that are no strangers to the New England hardcore scene: Sean Murphy (Verse), Mikey Belcastro (Product of Waste, Suicide Pact), Evan White (Raindance) and Andrew Fortin got together in late 2013 when Murphy and Belcastro finally sat down after about a year of talking about starting a band. The two had \"...dealt with a lot of similar things in life...mental illness, abuse, welfare, death, etc., so we wanted to use this project as a form of therapy for us and anyone else that might take something positive from a total negative,\" Murphy commented. And therapeutic it is - Violent Son's debut LP Nothing As It Seems is a ferocious effort that would please fans of Verse's ambitious trajectory, and yet, it is completely its own project for much of its blistering 22-minute length. It's a multifaceted debut that subtly twists punk's heavier formula into new shapes and colors while retaining Murphy's exasperated, incensed sociopolitical frustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSean Murphy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Vocals\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMikey Belcastro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Guitar\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Villarreal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Bass\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvan White\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Drums\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/7172\/7298\/collections\/VIOLENT-SONS_Bridge9.com_1500x479_header.jpg?v=1769451860","url":"https:\/\/b9store.com\/collections\/violent-sons.oembed","provider":"Bridge Nine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
