Artist description Sans Self is a band with a goal. They seek to create the kind of music that gets under people's skins, without them realizing it. And, with some help, luck, and bit of skill, they'll have their chance to do just that: get under people's skins. See, they have no intention of bowing to anyone or doing anything they think is remotely against their goals or visions. This is not a band for the weak-minded listener. This is a band for the listener who's been there before, at least once. They know the pain of not being able to speak their minds ("Burned Out"), they know what it's like to be disgusted with people without morals ("The Fine Line"), they know what it's like to lose love because it wasn't simple enough for the other to know how to react and accept ("Simplicity's Rewards"). That is why this band wants so badly to make it in the music business. Because They know what it's like, and they're tired of it. They want to be the ones onstage singing and playing their hearts out. To represent the millions who want to but can't. They will be heard, the songs will speak for that. Also, the band is looking for some real studio time, as this demo was 100% self-made, edited, produced, and designed. There's no bullshit here, just heart and soul, wrapped up in a rock music format. When the band can get a better demo done, and get some gigs on the side, only then can it be known... that Truth Hurts... do you feel it?

Music Style Less pop, more rock..

Musical Influences Guitar-driven rock with some elements of metal and a small dabbling of punk.

Artist History Dan Madole kicked this whole band off the idea of just foolin around with some guys and just having a blast doing it. He never imagined that it would take off like it has. But, from the humble beginnings of Mike Schmitt, Ruben Sepulveda, Dan Madole, and Bobby Hendrick, the band has taken on a life of it's own, for sure. Now, with Dan, Bobby, and new member Lucy Martinez on keyboards, Sans Self is ready to kick ass and take names.

Group Members Dan Madole: Vocals/Guitars This is the man who controls the group's songs, because he wrote most of them. He's the driving force behind the band, and he will stop at absolutely NOTHING to make it in the music business. And... woe be to they who gets in his way... it will be chaos. Bobby Hendrick: Bass/Backing Vocals Dan's best friend for years, there is not a more devoted guy than Bobby Hendrick. He's really more into the metal scene, but he's playing in this band that's about as metal as P.O.D. (That is, not very). But, he loves it. He and Dan worked a long time together trying to do something, and now that they're brothers-in-musical arms, it's a force to be reckoned with. Lucy Martinez: Keyboards, Backing Vocals She's a new member. The band keeps her cloaked in secrecy. Why? Who knows... not I, the humble web server.
