From the Roots, Vol. 2 EP
Heralded in their early days by Fox News as one of the best unsigned bands in the country after their debut single, "Soldiers," sold over 60,000 copies digitally, Otherwise were out to live their rock & roll dreams with a blend of plaintive post-grunge and driving hard rock. Formed by brothers Adrian Patrick (vocals) and Ryan Patrick (guitar), and backed by bassist Tony Carboney and drummer Brian Medeiros, the four-piece rock outfit has an emotional, hard-hitting sound that attempts to knock listeners over with soaring vocals and huge guitars. After seeing a rapid rise based on their first single, Otherwise signed on with Sony Music/Century Media, who had been watching them for a while. Making the switch from "best unsigned band" to "newly signed band," the group released their debut full-length, True Love Never Dies, in 2012. They followed up with Peace at All Costs in 2014, and Sleeping Lions in 2017, both of which also saw release through Sony Music/Century Media.
