Frequency Overload

Frequency Overload is a Long Island-based four-piece of Metal pros forcefully
delivering a Hardcore-tinged reinvention of Crossover Thrash.
The foundations of Frequency Overload began with guitarist Corey Schaefer and
drummer Kevin Daily, who share a history in metal. Corey’s time in bands like Uncle
Jack, Nothing Sacred, Kryonix, Misery, and Misery Kills led to a solid foundation in
guitar and songwriting, which also led to support slots for Devildriver and Kittie. Kevin
honed his percussion roots by jamming to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All when he was 14. Later,
a run in Akalamathesia and tenure in Long Island’s iconic Exit Verona led to reigning
strong in the Hard Rock scene to include shows at the legendary B.B. King venue in
NYC. With a new metal venture in mind, Corey set out to round out a lineup.
Self-proclaimed “Chokalist” Mr. Bush stepped into the vocal spotlight, no stranger to the
experience as the frontman of Social Disease, Ironlung, Evileye, Welt, and Pummel,
and former labelmate of Dominus-era Michael Poulsen on Progress Records. Steve
Little completed the lineup as an experienced bassist of 30 years, playing in Cobalt 60,
Intogreen, Image Within, and Ionize. The unfortunate loss of a bandmate led Steve to
step away from music for some time, but Frequency Overload was just the right project
to bring him back on the scene.
The moment Frequency Overload jammed together, they realized they had landed a
lineup that felt “more right than ever” according to Mr. Bush, with effortless ideas and
comfort as if they had been playing together for years. The synchronistic flow led to the
completion of their debut full-length within a year of formation. Life of Agony legend and
renowned producer Joey Z recorded, engineered, mastered, and even jumped on some
backing vocals for Fate Anthropic, with the exception of two bonus tracks done by Corey
at Fat Bottom Studio.
Corey came to the band with a lifetime supply of songs, but also began to write new riffs
on the fly, organically flowing with the lineup. Mr. Bush is behind the majority of the lyrics
and vocal melodies, ad libbing patterns to fully articulate later on. Frequency Overload’s
lyrics push forward with intensity, addressing the darker side and challenging topics of
life without hesitation. Frequency Overload is made up of Metalheads making the music
they love.
Frequency Overload attributes their fortitude to each of their wives and families, who
support their metal lifestyle to the fullest extent, along with the inspiration found in their
friend and mentor, Joey Z. Their combined thousands of live performance experiences
continue to take them to new heights and beyond.
