Malistad

In 2003 Jason Ketcham started the band Malistad as an underground rock band placing high emphasis on new ideas, challenging lyrics and epic-scale storytelling. What began as a three man group; Jason Ketcham (vocals, guitar) Bryan Ince (bass) and Ben Lopez (drums) dissipated into a single man’s vision. The band saw a long hard ride while making furious attempts to find their place within the music spectrum. They soon disbanded held down by every problem a new band faces in the attempt to progress. Left to wonder the purpose of his aspirations, Jason met and befriended Austin Ameral where the chemistry and unique style they developed was more hopeful than anything previously attempted with past band members. But blighted again by tragic circumstance Austin indefinitely departed from the band leaving the lingering melodies as Jason’s last attempt to pick up the pieces and present people with the unique style and mood of his songs. The sound you hear strikes deep the chords within the hearts of the most reckless…which cannot be touched without emotion.
