The pattern paved and left here for me • I've been using way to much • And I don't want to drive it anymore
The National Guard formed in Seattle, Washington. Perhaps imperfectly slotted into the “Rock” category, the band consists of Nick Pollock (My Sister’s Machine, Soulbender, Tanks Of Zen), Erin Tate (Minus the Bear), Nick Rhinehart (Jerry Cantrell, Bam Bam), and James Chow. The band has years of collective experience playing locally, nationally and internationally.
As this musical history suggests, there are disparate influences at play, ranging from hard rock and metal to indie rock and alternative rock. Make no mistake, however. The result is focused, tight, and melodic. With their first album, Death Blossom, ready for release on 27 February, 2020, the band is looking forward to a great year of playing live and doing more recording.
