Debris is a Boston-based hard rock wrecking
machine, hell-bent on annihilating everything in
sight. Their crushing blend of melody and
aggression has brutalized many an audience.
Venues Debris has decimated include: Bill's Bar
and The Hard Rock Cafe in Boston, Middle East
Upstairs & Downstairs, and T.T. the Bear's in
Cambridge, The Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester,
O'Brien's in Allston, and Sharky's in Nashua, NH,
where they won the Rockfest battle of the bands.
Debris has received airplay on WBCN, WGIR
Rock101.1 NH, WCUW 93.1 in MA, RadioBoston.com,
and KMRQ 96.7 in CA. They have appeared on the
2001 Berklee Career Music Expo compilation CD, a
2002 compilation benefiting The New York Fallen
Firefighters and Rescue Workers Fund, and have
self-released an enhanced live CD. Current
projects include a 4-song EP and their recently
completed single "Thru This", which will appear on
a compilation benefiting Children's Cancer
Research.
Debris's influences include Korn, Metallica, Tool,
Faith No More, Incubus and Rage Against the
Machine - but Debris's music can't be placed
comfortably into one genre. Bryan Bales's
ballistic drumming and Steve Ordonez's heavy,
fluid bass lines provide a solid foundation, upon
which Justin Ballard's 7-string explosion of
brutal riffage and Mich'l Dudas's effects-laden
guitar swirls create a dual sonic punch. Atop all
this is a barrage of vocal shrapnel consisting of
Ballard's melodic growl and backups from Dudas and
Ordonez.
The seismic power of Debris, combined with their
take-no-prisoners outlook, has made them a
forboding presence in the Boston music scene.
