Powered by raw emotion, fueled by passion, and driven by a clearly defined vision, CONFLICTION has awakened eager listeners by providing them with adrenaline-laced music. Haling from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, CONFLICTION has invoked their music upon the masses by routinely playing shows throughout the east, mid-west and as far west as Los Angeles while sharing the stage with national acts such as Sevendust, Cold, Trapt, Revis, Nonpoint, Flaw, Life of Agony, Apartment 26, Mudvayne, Shinedown, Spineshank, Skrape, Nothingface, Chimaira, Presence, Soulfly, System of a Down, Saliva, 3 Doors Down, Default, Memento, Socialburn, 12 Stones, Hatebreed, Corrosion of Conformity, Luna Coil, Trust Company, Echo 7, E-Town Concrete, Sloth, Down the Sun, Soil, Crossfade and many others along with regional and local favorites across the country. Having played in various East coast bands, members Tripp Gaddy (Guitar / Vocals), Chuck Cooper (Drums) and Rollin Carver (Vocals) united and formed CONFLICTION in 1999. The final piece, Matt Fortin (Bass / Vocals) was added to the puzzle in early 2004. Possessing unique and diverse backgrounds has provided each member with an avenue for harnessing their creativity throughout the molding and shaping of their music. Their style is simple but EXPLOSIVE with a lot of underlying meaning to each song. Each member believes that music is a vehicle for hope and change. They keep it personal but also positive. “There are enough negative and depressing messages already out there in the world of music today,” says Rollin. The songs are raw and heavy, but if you listen closely, you will find there is always a personal underlying message. Matt states, “The music, which is pieced together with such a high level of emotion, is reflected in the personal way we relate to our audience throughout each show.” CONFLICTION’s self-produced CD “the face of aggression” contains 11 original tracks and has sold over 2,000 copies in retail stores, at shows, and on the internet. Their newest two-CD set has sold over 2,000 copies since January of 2004 with no distribution. This is a testament to the intense work ethic that each band member possesses. Three CONFLICTION songs are also on the internationally distributed D-Aces Motorcycle video and DVD “Not Guilty” (www.d-aces.com) and the song “Guilty” is to be featured in the 2004 Dalton Pictures Movie Altered Courses. With a repertoire of over 40 original songs, and a diverse three CD discography; CONFLICTION songs are currently being played in heavy rotation on 97.3 FM in Albany, GA, 101.7 FM WKZQ in Myrtle Beach, SC, 105.5 WXZR FM in Jacksonville, NC, and numerous college radio stations across the nation. The reviews are in… "CONFLICTION throw things down in a next level way. When you spin their LP, from beginning to end, it has driving hooks coupled with great transitions and killer riffs. Oh, by the way, they can reproduce it live too. We've had a great response thus far from spiking their tracks, just listen, you'll dig 'em." Doubledown- Assistant Program Director- WRAK 97.3 “I love the CD. CONFLICTION seem to be the complete package. Love the sound, the site & the design on the packaging of Infect The Innocent.” Chad David Shearer – ATL MAGAZINE “CONFLICTION tiptoes along the line of rock, nu-metal and even some elements of pop to give the listener a smorgasbord of ear candy. Spin it, like it, love it… Confliction is here to be heard.” HitThePit.com “This band comes out of the speakers with attitude and cool control… the evidence of CONFLICTION’s evolution has been unleashed like a predator. Expect very big things from this band.” Anti-Industry.com “CONFLICTION rocks! These guys can really play, and they play great together. Their songs are powerful and melodic.” PJ Rubal - Artist Relations - Spector Bass www.conflictionband.com
