Combining the melodic storytelling of acoustic folk pop with the passion and intensity of hardcore, Ronnie Garcia has carved himself a cozy little niche in music industry.
While this amalgamation may seem like one of oil and water, the thousands of fans can attest that it's actually right up there with chocolate and peanut butter.
Garcia was given the chance to play for over seventy thousand people at the 2010 Krockathon in his band, aWake... a side project! As of September, 2010, Ronnie has "become a hermit", writing and recording a new EP that is expected to release in January of 2011.
Ronnie Garcia is definitely one musician to keep an eye on. - Deface Ezine

Bio
I've created a sound that dances through fast and fun riffs to catchy choruses and unique acoustic solos. My songs are about life; I put myself out there in hopes of connecting with a few people rather than generalizing to many.
I've shared the stage with Flyleaf, Avenge Sevenfold, Ed Kowalczyk (of Live), All That Remains, and A Day to Remember. ...It's pretty obvious I've won some online voting contests to appear at big festivals; I know, I know, I'm not fooling anyone.
I've also played countless bars, coffeehouses, and house shows while selling thousands of cds during the tours I took part in.
I love the complexity and math of hardcore bands like The Fall of Troy and The Bled but I'm also obsessed with the beautiful melodies and storytelling of Dallas Green and Tegan and Sara's folk pop. I incorporate these aspects into my sound to create something different and new.
I've been compared to Bright Eyes, Brand New, and The Fall of Troy.
I'm currently sponsored by Knucklehead Guitar Strings, Stoked Clothing, and I've recently signed to Hollowed Records.
