Dryland formed in 2014 from the seeds of guitar player Ryan Clapper's crunchy riffs. He enlisted the help of some of his best pals to fill the sound out, including former Black Eyes and Neckties singer Brad Lockhart. Influenced by bands like Royal Thunder, Hammers of Misfortune, Converge, Federation X, Blood Ceremony, Wovenhand, and of course, Black Sabbath (aren't we all), Dryland's sound is catchy, driving, growly, and riffy, with a side of moss. Your mom will probably like them even though she doesn't like "that kind of music."
They released their first album, self titled, in 2017 and are currently in the writing process for the next.

"The massive riffs chop by way of blunt force crushing in all directions with progressive tendencies and hardcore roots. The vocals scream with infectious vigor and the bass cleans up the remains with a sweeping groove." -Bucky from Bandcamp
