About

Literally from that 'Basement On a Hill' their late Texas brother Elliott Smith referred to, this quartet refuses to be kept underground. Since their formation in late 2003 Modico has turned heads and raised eyebrows all across the south. Hailing from Ft. Worth, Texas, Modico's beginnings are rooted where the roots actually grow. From the basement of a house on a hill, Modico set out to create something new, combining the diverse influences of each member. In August 2006, the band relocated to Norman, OK allowing all members to live under one roof. Modico recently finished recording its debut full length album, Axe At My Feet. The band hopes to produce art that the ear begs to hear and the soul yearns to feel.

With cannon fire bass, bullet time drums, and guitars that will coax you to sleep before bombarding your senses, Modico take the stage as if it were a battlefield. Steadfast and ready for action, this band has an objective that exceeds superficial stardom. Modico is concerned with the world they see, and passionately try to do their part to facilitate its improvement. They see a lot of fear in the world today and an overabundance of depression. Hopelessness plagues many people and deceives them into believing that this life is pain. Modico is at war with that mentality. Hope does exist; that's the message the band wants to share with anyone who is willing to listen.

While embracing their influences Modico seems to turn a blind eye. Though the band formed while the members were in high school, Modico have always attempted to create rather than imitate. This is music for those who are fed up with the status quo. This is music for anyone who's ever questioned, why? This is music for a revolution.

There's nothing to fear.
