Insides Out

Insides Out is a punk/rock three piece out of Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, one of the largest Marine Corps Bases on the east coast. The band consists of Arly Nitro (22, Drums, Lead Vocals), Nick Feratu (20, Guitar, Vocals), and Chris Casket (20, Bass, Vocals).The Band started in January 2008, after the long time friends decided that music is something they wanted to persue and needed it in their life. Although playing together under different names, in different projects, since the early high school days of 2003, Insides Out is by far their most dedicated, serious, and proffessional work. One of the most unique and eye-catching aspects of the band is Arly Nitro, who is both the lead singer and drummer. Aside from thier singing drummer, Nick Feratu and Chris Casket are the front stage performers, who give the crowd a show by moving energeticly across the stage and interacting with the audience.With influences such as AFI, Misfits, The Used, Tiger Army, and My Chemical Romance, they combine these elements, creating a fun, unique, colaborative punk/rock sound, with often melodic vocals and breakdowns.Insides Out has come a long way by themselves alone, creating a strong state wide fan base, as well as forming a huge myspace following.Playing shows non-stop, they have brached out as far south as Orlando, Fl, as far north in Viginia Beach, Va, and everywhere in between. By taking any show possible to get exposure, they have had the chance to open for larger bands such as The Horrorpops, The Independents, The Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Dwarves, The Germs, Michale Graves of the Misfits, Whole Wheat Bread and Blitzkid along the way.Coming from a large Military Base, Insides Out has had the wonderful opportunity to play for hundreds of marines on numerous occassions, entertaing them in smaller bases/and facilities within the area, by dealing with the successful "Single Marine Program". The band has played at various halloween type festivals including the Atlanta Horrorfest and all of the Myrtle Beach "Zombie Walks". They were also only the second band ever to play an in-store acoustic performance at a Hot Topic retail store in the state of North Carolina.
Working very hard on their own, they have managed to buy their own van for transportation, merchandise, (such as shirts, stickers, patches, and buttons) and have recorded and pressed both a 13 and a 15 track CD.Insides Out has had media and radio attention by having airplay on eastern North Carolina's "Rock 105.5" multiple times, as well as making the cover of their city/county newspaper entertainment magazine, which included an interview with the band. They were also featured on a few compilations and various internet radio streams. The next goal for Insides Out is to get wider fanbase through touring non-stop, playing bigger shows/venues, obtaining better distribution and exposure, all while making the band thier first, and foremost top priority in life.
