Practice with the band Brand X Savior happens at a place called House of Hits where somewhere over 60 local bands each rent small rooms in a large warehouse like space to practice. As you wander down the dark and narrow halls you pass door after door with nothing but simple numbers on them but the sounds of music being created are everywhere. So while the guys write, sing, play and occasionally bicker, band manager Mark Gilmore is there, offering support, comraderie, advice and sharing the laughs along with the guys in the lighter moments, taking a smoke break in the hallway.
About the band Gilmore says “Brand X Savior is a hard rock alternative band with a mix of Alice in Chains, Tool, and Disturbed. Each member has their own influences ranging from Slayer to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hip Hop to Johnny Cash. I love the music for what it does, it makes me want to scream and sing along. It’s all about the way it moves me.”
Right now Brand X Savior is on the cusp of releasing their full-length album. Getting this album released to the public and the music industry is Gilmore’s top priority. “I’ll work with whoever it takes to get this album out to as many people as possible. We’ll see what happens next, one step at a time.”
