Desired Response Theory – VRZ 58 Video Rabbit Zone

Description: Rising from the ashes of Tacoma-area heavyweights Medicine Wheel, Before Christ, Throttle and Mister Grinch, the behemoth that is Desired Response Theory strives for one goal- to bring powerful, intelligent music to a world seemingly lacking in both. Originally consisting of Jason, Dan, Kevin and Nick, in 2002, they quickly decided that the puzzle just wasn't complete. After an extensive search, Jamie and Rick were added to bring their music to new, monstrous heights. The rhythm section of Jason and Dan nails down a bottom-end that can powderize concrete, while Kevin and Rick's guitars crush the listener like a steamroller. Over this heavier-than-thou riffing, Nick and Jamie's harmonies, counter melodies and call-and-response vocals provide hooks that stay in your head long after the walls stop shaking. One can make the argument that the band's enormous sound can only truly be appreciated by seeing them live. As one new disciple says, "These guys take the stage with an energy that hasn't been seen around here for years." DRT refuses to allow an audience to think of them as "background music". For the length of time that they are on stage, they own that club and everyone in it. Through their many years of experience, these 6 professionals have learned many things, not the least of which is that any success the band has, or will have, is directly attributable to the many fans who turn up show after show. This serves to make the members all exceptionally accessible, both to the long-time devoted and the ever expanding legions of new fans.
