"Artist Profile - The Audible Dark"

The Audible Dark. Sit with that for a minute and think about the image the words conjure in your mind. If the dark had a sound, what would it be? This band from downstate NY wants to give you their version of that picture, so they are hopping on the road and coming for a visit to the Utica Music and Arts Festival.

Stephanie Logan of the band has some Utica ties I’d like to tell you about. Not like the ones on the Charlie Watts Riots, the other kid of ties. She’s from here! ”I grew up in Utica and went to college in Rochester, so I have a lot of old friends and family ties upstate. So when the guys in Nova Cez Everything suggested we look into it, I was really excited for the chance to play in my hometown!”

Stephanie’s voice slams into your ears relentlessly, and I mean that as a compliment. She has a very direct and precise delivery, an acute sound to her vocal, that helps drive the tempo of the songs forward with the pulsing rock music supporting her melody. She’s also playing guitar. The band is heavy but not oppressive or melancholy and the balance let’s you hear articulation and vocal nuances and flowing lyrics. There is something inspiring and hopeful about the overall mix. The guitar solos absolutely rip thanks to Lance Barnewold. They’re very present at the front of the sound and screaming in tone. Pat McCarthy’s beastly bass slides alongside Chris Infusino’s work behind the kit, and it’s rock and roll ready for release. - umafmelissa - The Meme-Brain

Bio

“When the dark is so intense, you can hear what you feel.”

At its heart, The Audible Dark is honest, anthemic rock, with deeply felt, universal sentiments. The hard driving rhythms combine with instantly memorable melodies to stick with you long after the first listen. Based in Denver, The Audible Dark is “heavy but not oppressive or melancholy and the balance lets you hear articulation and vocal nuances and flowing lyrics.”

The Audible Dark is currently in the studio with producer Anthony “Rocky” Gallo working on their first full-length album. The band will release the first single from the project on January 14, 2012, along with several other promotions in the works. The full album is slated to be released in summer 2012.

The Audible Dark was founded in 2010 under rather un-rock-and-roll circumstances. “As a kid, I dreamed of 'being a singer'. Then I woke up one morning and discovered I was a 25-year-old stay-at-home mom of two,” says singer/guitarist Stephanie Logan. “It smacked me in the face! If I didn't chase my dream—and do it now—tomorrow I'd be an old lady wondering what if.” Stephanie threw herself into writing and practicing every spare minute. She recounts sitting on the kitchen floor during naptime, playing electric guitar through headphones so she wouldn't wake the kids up!

Stephanie sought out her good friend Anthony “Rocky” Gallo, a producer/engineer whose credits include John Legend and Carrie Underwood. Together they crafted The Audible Dark's powerful self-titled debut EP to capture the intensity of Stephanie's songwriting. Rocky brought in Pat McCarthy to lay down a sweet bass line on the record, which was released on November 1, 2010. When the band began to play live shows, Pat called on drummer Chris Infusino to bring the groove, and a couple months later, lead guitarist Lance Barnewold added his searing guitar solos to the band. While playing throughout New York City, The Audible Dark finished a second EP entitled Rainbows & Roses (released on May 6, 2011) at Rocky's new space, Virtue and Vice Studios.

The Audible Dark names Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, and My Chemical Romance among their influences, a unique combination that comes through in the captivating vocals and transparent lyrics. “Stephanie’s voice slams into your ears relentlessly, and I mean that as a compliment. She has a very direct and precise delivery, an acute sound to her vocal, that helps drive the tempo of the songs forward with the pulsing rock music supporting her melody... There is something inspiring and hopeful about the overall mix.”
