New Jersey-based quintet MUTINY WITHIN (formerly MUTINY), a band of young turks who play like a troupe of seasoned shred veterans and who plucked their singer from Blackpool, England, thanks to the wonders of MySpace, have been added to the Roadrunner Records label roster. The thoroughly metallic outfit was unearthed and signed by A&R man Mike Gitter, who was blown away by the band's live firepower. Gitter says,
"The band was playing at a level so early in its career that most bands never touch. With the addition of [vocalist] Chris Clancy, they verge on unbeatable. MUTINY WITHIN are truly the graduating valedictorians of Generation Guitar Hero."
With members ranging in age from 18 to 23, MUTINY's lineup is rounded out by bassist Andrew "AJ" Jacobs, guitarists Brandon Jacobs and Lu Obregon, keyboardist Drew Stavola, and drummer Bill Fiore.
MUTINY WITHIN is scheduled to enter Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida in December with producer Jason Suecof (ALL THAT REMAINS, GOD FORBID, TRIVIUM, DEVILDRIVER) to begin recording its debut album. The CD, which will mark the recording debut of the group's new guitarist Jeff Stewart, will be released in early 2009 via Roadruner Records.
Four of MUTINY WITHIN's self-produced songs can be streamed on the band's MySpace page, including the track "Awake", which was among the top 10 most downloaded songs last month at the Roadrunner web site.
MUTINY WITHIN recently did a radio interview for HearNewBrunswick.com and the audio can be heard below. In addition, the band has uploaded a six-minute introduction video, which includes individual performances from each of the members.
