The Dude Abides

Austin Townend - Vocals Christian Harris - Drums Caden Bostic - Guitar Sam Lovelady - Bass The Dude Abides (or TDA for short) is a Metalcore band from Boise, ID that also attempts to draw influences from many other genre's (Melodic Hardcore, Alternative, Punk, etc). Originally, the TDA was started as a side project, but after having played their first show, the band realized there was some potential there. The core members of the band ended up leaving their main bands over time and creating The Dude Abides into a powerhouse of talent. Now, after being a band for less than a year, TDA has already played countless shows, tours, and just finished recording their new EP - "Trials Of Heart". Nothing is stopping them from achieving their goals of changing lives through their music. All lyrics that TDA writes are written have been done so only to better society. TDA sees everything through a brighter light, and even though that may be considered "posi", the band does not allow negativity in their music. Passion, excitement, and joy drives their sound and will continue to do so. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thedudeabidesband Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thedudeabidesband
