Guardrail Biography
Guardrail is a band from Chicago, IL consisting of Kevin Andrew (vocals), Alyssa Laessig (bass, vocals), Ken Ugel & Xack Brame (guitars), and Doug Brand (drums). The world's first DIET PUNK band. Basically, we’re not exactly “punk” in the traditional sense. But it’s definitely our biggest influence, and our music shows that. We’re here to sing happy songs about not-so-happy things, marinated in Jeppson's Malört and positive energy.
In June 2015, Guardrail released their debut EP Wordswords. After many lineup changes, the group was solidified in 2018 after releasing their latest EP Par at Best in 2017. With songs such as Miserable, Jane, and You're Fired; the band mixes punk, pop, and metal together for those who dig The Bouncing Souls, Sum 41, The Swellers, Strung Out, among others.
In September 2020, Guardrail released new music in the form of a new EP 'Yikes'. Working with Open Your Ears Records and Nick Diener of the Swellers, this was a turning point for the band as they began to hone in their own sound.
In the summer of 2023, the band released their album 'Content', which had Xack join as a full contributor. The album explored more of each member's influences, ranging from hardcore to garage rock to alt rock to skate punk.
