Akron, OH is known for the Goodyear Plant that makes racing tires specifically (in case you were wondering) and is my hometown. Another thing you can find in Akron is the band Audience of Rain. I was pleasantly surprised to find out after talking with the band that the rock/metal scene is doing well there. We talked about how and when they formed, what the scene is like around them and the venue situation since we all know what happened to so many years ago. We also talked about the DIY house parties and their upcoming show on July 29th in Wilmington, OH along with the meaning of their song "Earth//Decay" and "Anti-Venom".
About Audience of Rain:
Audience of Rain is a modern hard rock / metalcore band out of Akron, Ohio. The band draws from their hard rock, metal and metalcore roots to build a modern sound with imaginative lyrics fueled by mutual passion. Audience of Rain provides a message of togetherness, that even when isolated, we all share common frustrations and fears, hopes and dreams, and in that sense, that we are never abandoned or alone.
