Modena Vox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modena Vox is a rock and roll quintet from Columbus, Ohio. The band is notable as one of the few "buzz bands" hailing from Ohio, with a growing cult following throughout the Midwest.

Modena Vox is known for their multi-dimensional sound with lush guitar melodies layered over up-tempo rock and roll beats. Introspective lyrics display a depth of emotion without venturing into the maudlin or cliché.

[edit] Line-up

  • Anthony Timperman - Lead Vocals
  • Daniel Harris - Guitar
  • J.J. DeLibera - Guitar
  • Thomas Bragg - Bass
  • Michael Savage - Drums

Conceived at Ashland University in Ohio, Modena Vox has been through several incarnations always revolving around the yin-and-yang relationship of its two founding members, Anthony Timperman and Daniel Harris.[1] Timperman is the charismatic frontman and poetic lyricist. His mercurial personality is balanced by Harris, the soulful, classically-trained guitarist. After moving to Columbus, the two solidified the line-up by hand-picking the following musicians from the local scene: J.J. DeLibera, an easy-going guitarist and dynamic soloist, Thomas Bragg, whose choir-boy looks belie his driving basslines, and Mike Savage, a forceful and steady percussionist. The comaraderie amongst the five is obvious on-stage and off.

[edit] Recordings

The band recorded their latest demo in Woodstock, NY with producer J.P. Bowersock (The Strokes, Ryan Adams). [2]

The video for their song "Hard Pressed" was produced by Outsider Entertainment [3] and was entered in the 2005 Flint Film Festival [4] in Michigan.
