Founded in 2013, the band Flaw is a metal/rock band with influences such as Sevendust, Tool, Staind, Killswitch Engage and Avenge Sevenfold.
Flaw is starting their Street Noise 2020 tour on February 13th at The Loony Bin in Bradley, IL, USA along with Gabriel & The Apocalypse and Jump The Fall. Opening for the 3 bands at The Loony Bin are Oblivion Zero who is located in Pontiac, IL.
Oblivion Zero is an unsigned progressive thrash metal act with influences such as Metallica, Megadeath, Anthrax and Mastodon. Their lineup consists of:
Kyle Ripley - Vocals and Guitar
Jeff Philgren - Bass and backup Vocals
Alex Farrell - Guitar and backup Vocals
Blake Longeway - Drums
The band has performed with acts, such as; Battlecross, Dead Horse Trauma, The Browning, Ill Nino, Eyes Set to Kill, I Prevail and a number of other great national acts. The number of acts that they have performed with in their hometown of Pontiac is almost endless.
In my own home town there is a venue in Providence, RI called Fete Music Hall. I can not find information about if Oblivion Zero will be on the permanent touring roster for the Street Noise 2020 tour but one can only hope. A band located out of Hartford, CT called In The Red will be the opening act for the February 21st leg of Flaw's tour. In the Red is a hard rock/metal act who's influences are of the likes of; Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Sick Puppies, All the Remains, In Flames, Pantera, Godsmack and last but not least Disturbed!
In The Red consists of the following members:
Cody - lead vocals
Pete - guitar/vocal
John - drums/percussion/vox
Desiree - Bass
I do apologize if my attention is on In The Red but hey, this is all about local music and In The Red is local to me. If you have comments on the other bands performing on the Street Noise 2020 tour please feel free to drop them below. Ticket price for the Providence, RI leg is $18 for general admission. Prices will vary depending on your location.
Happy thrashing! Keep it local!
