- 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 style’s limitations. Along the way, they
   have sought to develop a live show that combines the band’s natural energy
   with crowd participation to make I Am The Messenger’s performance unlike any
   other. Last – but not least – 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 Messenger’s 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, Let’s 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 Messenger’s five-song debut EP “Robots” brought well over 1,000 people
   to Madison Theater in Covington, Kentucky. “Robots” 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.
