WITHOUT A FIGHT (formerly August), with their blend of catchy pop-punk melodies, high-energy tempos, and Four Year Strong-esk beats, has a little something for everyone to enjoy. Band members Eric Gress (lead vocals/guitar), Kevin Hayes (vocals/guitar), Jacob Roseberry (bass), and Ryan Turner (drums) each bring their own distinct style to the group, culminating in an assorted, yet agreeable musical mélange.
Or, to put it simply, these guys would fit right in with the artists of Warped Tour, Bamboozle, and the like.
Capturing the essence of influences such as New Found Glory, Cartel, and Set Your Goals, WITHOUT A FIGHT finds themselves somewhat in-between genres. “We’re not gritty punk, but we’re not synthesized power-pop either,” says Kevin, “We play fun, hard-hitting rock with catchy hooks, drawn from an alternative influence.”
WITHOUT A FIGHT (with this particular collection of musicians) has been playing together for a little over two years. In that time, they’ve toured areas all along the east coast and into the mid west. They’ve also been featured on several independent east coast radio stations. More recently (April 2009) they spent two weeks with producer Marc Mcclusky recording their new album “If It’s War You Want,” which will soon be released on Forsaken Records.
To sum it up, WITHOUT A FIGHT knows how to have a good time, and if that’s what you’re looking for then you’re in the right place. Music matters to this group, but more importantly, music that represents their true intentions and reflects who they are as artists. They’re not looking to sellout to the next fad or give way to the pressures of the scene. This isn’t a band that you’ll ever find trying to make their music fit a style (or fit into skinny jeans). WITHOUT A FIGHT lets their music speak for itself. And these guys are confident that if you take a minute and give it a listen, you’ll like what you hear.
