New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hitting the scene with their first release in 2011, Kyle Allen (vocals/guitar), Ian Alvarez (guitar), and
Danny T. Penwell (drums) have worked tirelessly to produce quality music and to add to their ever-growing fan base. For their first EP �Therefore/Without� they enlisted Paul Parks and Michael Schlereth to record and mix/master. When it was time to follow up that EP, Casey Bates (A Skylit Drive,
Memphis May Fire, Pierce The Veil) was brought in to mix/master �Wandermere� in 2014. After building a friendship with Bates, Keyes was ready to work with him again when they teamed up with Tragic Hero label mates Wearing Thin to record a split EP which will be out in 2016.
Keyes was eager to hit the road after releasing their EP�s. They�ve toured the west coast with Matthew Fitzpatrick of My Iron Lung (Pure Noise Records) and have also toured the southwest with Captives (Ronald Records).
In 2015, Keyes caught the eye of Tragic Hero President, Tommy LaCombe and both agreed working together would be a good fit. Allen explains, �Aside from growing up and loving the Tragic Hero roster, we had heard nothing but good things from friends who had worked with Tommy. Tragic Hero sounds like and will hopefully be the beginning of great things to come for Keyes�.
Keyes split EP with Wearing Thin will be released on April 15th, 2016 and will tour together in support of their new music and will be the first time featuring Keyes' new bassist, Dominic Trujillo.
WEARING THIN: Taking cues from multiple different influences, Wearing Thin has figured out the perfect combination to their own sound. Tylor Blackburn (Vocals), Jace Garner (Drums), Jeffery Mudgett (Guitar), Maclaine Lewis (Guitar), and Nico Lee (Bass) are ready to take the band to a whole new level after signing with Tragic Hero Records in 2015.
The band had their start in Salt Lake City, Utah after Blackburn mentioned needing a drummer on social media for a new project and that�s where Garner came into the picture. Childhood friend Lewis was recruited to play guitar and another musician in the local scene, Lee, was brought in on bass. Jeffery Mudgett rounds out the sound on guitar. Wearing Thin is no stranger to the recording studio. They recorded their EP, �Fake Amends� which was produced by Andy Patterson and mixed/mastered by Randy Cordner. They�ve also worked with the duo on their 7� split with Keyes. The band then went back into the studio to re-record the EP to show the band�s significant growth as a band.
