- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

In March, 2009, a Cincinnati-based group of musicians set out with a goal in

mind. This sextet, known as I Am The Messenger, wanted to create hardcore

music but also wanted to push that styleÆs limitations. Along the way, they

have sought to develop a live show that combines the bandÆs natural energy

with crowd participation to make I Am The MessengerÆs performance unlike any

other. Last û but not least û the members of the band wanted to utilize a

positive message in their lyrics to encourage the audience to become the

change they want to see in the world.

The members of I Am The Messenger have varied musical backgrounds and

influences. As as result, their sound shows a great deal of diversity and

range. The listener will experience moments of driving, hardcore rhythms

flavored with highly technical and intricately pieced-together instrumentals

reflecting some of their metal roots. Their aggressive style is tempered by

soaring vocal harmonies and upbeat keyboard melodies that demonstrate I Am

The MessengerÆs pop sensibility.

Since forming, I Am The Messenger has been hard at work promoting their

music. They perform live shows regularly; they have performed on the indie

stage at Ichthus and on the Encore 2 stage at the Cornerstone Music Festival,

along with countless acts such as Miss May I, Gwen Stacy, LetÆs Get It, A

Plea For Purging, Thursday, Dillinger Escape Plan, Four Letter Lie, I Am

Ghost, Haste The Day, The Bled, and countless others. The release show for I

Am The MessengerÆs five-song debut EP ôRobotsö brought well over 1,000 people

to Madison Theater in Covington, Kentucky. ôRobotsö is currently available on

iTunes and Amazon Music. I Am The Messenger is currently working towards

recording their first full-length album and further building their fan base

in the Greater Cincinnati area.
