The Esoteric Bio

Forming in 1996, Lawrence, KS powerhouse quintet THE ESOTERIC are a shining example of the determination, hard work ethic and do-it-yourself values so characteristic of their Midwestern roots. THE ESOTERIC are musicians first and foremost; with members having performed in bands ranging from hardcore pioneers COALESCE, to super-pop all-stars REGGIE AND THE FULL EFFECT, indie-rockers THETA and even noisecore stalwarts TODAY IS THE DAY.

With a genre-defying stab at modern conventions, Lawrence, KS quintet THE ESOTERIC provide a feral glimpse into the future of music. With the Sureness of Sleepwalking is a corrosive blend of abrasive but intricate guitars, a pummeling rhythm section and determined, compelling vocals.
