Since its inception Six Ounce Gloves have proven themselves as a timeless, talented and tough-as-nails band which is consisted of the finest musicians within their respective fields that has obtained a dedicated fan base that's growing numbers and intense energy are hard to ignore.
Their first album, "Timing is Everything" , which was released in 2006 introduced audiences to the unique, but tasteful blend of melodic hard-rock, heavy metal and the in-your-face mentality of modern youth expression-which the band would only sharpen with each subsequent release. This album generated the singles "Flee", and later "Where Do I Go", both of which were heard and requested on radio stations nationwide-ranking highly on many local and national music charts and gaining the band national attention and a sponsorship from Jagermeister Music.
While writing and supporting "Timing is Everything" Six Ounce Gloves toured throughout the western United States, played numerous-notoriously-energetic local concerts in their native Fresno, California, opened for major-label artist, Korn, and performed with Powerman 5000, Taproot, Hinder, Theory of A Deadman, Papa Roach, Queens of The Stone Age, Sum 41 and many more-becoming featured twice on "Manfest", an annual concert-festival produced by a local clearchannel affiliate KRZR and "The Birthday Bash 2007", presented by local clearchannel affiliate New Rock 104.1.
In 2008, after the local-success and positive reviews of "Timing is Everything", the band was fueled to push themselves more as musicians and songwriters and released the intense, heavy-grooved, and progressive album, "This Time For Change". During this time while continuing to play numerous local shows and venues in the western United States, Six Ounce Gloves was featured performing alongside Machine Head, Five Finger Death Punch, Walls of Jericho and Puddle of Mudd while playing the Fresno date of the 2008 Rockstar Mayhem Festival, and the 2009 "Big Fresno Fair".
While the pressures of maintaining a self-financed, produced and managed career reached points that most bands would collapse under Six Ounce Gloves maintained strong and played the energy-filled, fanatic shows they had become known for locally in 2010 while writing and recording new material and in 2011 released the latest and heaviest of their albums "It's About Time For Everything to Change", an album which has proven the bands ability to maintain the clean sound of melodic vocals within an aggressive atmosphere comparable to the heaviest of past and modern metal masterpieces. Fan response to this latest material has been overwhelmingly positive-so much so that the band is now looking to perform and participate in larger concerts and festivals to bring their signature sound to more listeners and leave no one in attendance disappointed.
