Description:
Auryn was one of 16 bands selected to compete at The Hard Rock Cafe's nationwide Battle of the Bands contest, and on July 11, won the preliminary round!
Throught the months of April, May and June, Auryn totaled more than 10,000 downloads making them the second most download artist in L.A. Auryn online outranked Tom Petty and many other signed acts during this time period.
AURYN combines "honest emotion" and "soul piercing lyrical content" with a diverse, real world blend of dark alternative and bright modern rock. The singer is amazingly captivating. The musicians are superbly skilled, full of passion and melody. This band delivers a fulfilling rollercoaster of musical experience.
They are drawing 400 plus consistently once a month in Dayton playing only their original music for 2 hours or more. They play acoustically once a week that always draws 200 plus on a week night.
Band Members:
Ward Bell Vocals After a very brief stint at LA's Musicians institute, and even shorter time at the The Berklee College of Music, Ward decided that music theory wasn't for him and went out to find players for Auryn. Justin "Tana" Guitar Famous in New Zealand for his guitar and vocal work in the band Nine-pin, Justin seasoned his technical skill for years by covering Joe Satriani, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and other guitar greats.
Carlos Miller Bass The Bass Player barely looks old enough to shave with his baby face and hat on backwards but is a spectacular showman and still stays perfectly in the pocket.
Michael Christmas Drumemer The drummer never stops smiling and hits his symbols from the bottom and even head fakes occasionally like a basketball player.
