Artist description The sound of Dissonance is best described as a fusion of new-metal, funk, jazz, and ethnic music with interesting effects and musical elements not commonly used in hard rock. The members of the band each have very different musical backgrounds, and a wide range of influences; anything from classic and modern rock to motion picture scores, video games, and personal memories have all somehow contributed to shaping the band's intricate, thought-provoking music.

Artist History Dissonance began in Deltona, Florida early in the summer of 1999. The original lineup featured Matt and Joe, playing with a different bassist at the time. Within a few months Matt invited his friend Danny to become the new bass player with the hope that it would introduce a new feel to the band. They played mostly as a trio for the next two years, trying to find a permanent vocalist. During Spring 2001, they started doing our first serious writing and performing with Dan playing bass and doing lead vocals. After a few months, Matt and Dan decided to separate from Joe temporarily and attempt to continue the band with Dan focusing only on vocals. They recruited a new bassist and guitarist, who Matt had played with in a previous side project. That guitarist was Peter Gallucci, who would later become a permanent member. After the 4 members were together Dan's older brother Evan soon joined in what would complete the final manifestation of Dissonance. Towards the end of Summer 2001, we started practicing as what is now the current lineup.
