Dolor

Dolor means pain.....simple as that...
...however the motivation and influence of this bandgoes much further than that. With songs that touch on topics that range from everyday occurances to abstract streams of consciousness , they take the listener on an audiblerollercoaster of emotions. It's because of this that Dolor has built a very strong following for themselves in their hometown area. Everyone can connect with something in their music.Dolor's sound can best be described as heavy melodic rock drawing from influences such as Alice in Chains , Pantera and Sevendust to name a few. Within one song the band can conjure a wide dynamic range bringing the listener from a gentle lull to an agressive flashpoint of anger....truely music for today's life. The band's roots trace back to the summer of 2000 when Duffy ( guitar ) and Scavelli ( drums ) first met Hamel ( vocals , bass ). Shortly after the first jam session the three knew they were on to something. Despite thier progress they still felt they were missing something. Russ and Mike both worked at a local music store and one of thier co-workers ( Mihan ) happened to be an exceptional rock guitarist. At the time Todd was invloved in another project but filled in for a few shows with the group. It wouldn't be until about a year later when Todd joined up full time with Dolor.It was with this line up that the band finally felt solid. Dolor is currently arranging a string of shows , including a CD release party were they will drop thier full length disc. Stay tuned for more to come.....and remember it's not what you have...it's what you have to give.
