Eightfold Path
By: Jihad Rabah
Eightfold Path, consisting of Matt Harvey on vocals, Shane McDougall on bass, Mike Kilun on guitar, Shaun McInnus also on guitar and Andrew Soule on drums, has proved their capablities with their endless amounts of live shows and the release of their 5-song EP Time And Place. The band has only existed since 2002 but has built themselves a reputation any band would be proud to have. They have a strong fanbase and a suprising amount of respect by fellow bands and promoters. Eightfold Path has shared the stage with many national acts some of which include As I Lay Dying, Hopesfall and Everytime I Die.
Their 5-song EP is a blend of hard rock and hardcore elements that combine to create a sound that is not only catchy but addictive to the ear. Catching attention from the metal scene and the hardcore scene, Eightfold Path has drawn influences from both genres and that is definitely visible in the bands EP as well as the music they are currently working on. Look for more releases and definitely a lot more shows from this 5 piece Bay Area band on their official website. Don't miss out on one of the more solid bands in the Northern California scene.
