Kossuth and The Turncoat is an Independent band from Northeast, OH. The group is named after Lajos Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot who freed his native land from tyranny as revolutions rose up across Europe during the People's Spring of 1848. Lead vocalist Brian Kacsandi identified with the name "Kossuth" given his Hungarian background and relation to Lajos Kossuth. Along with the groups affinity for History and culture, the band was eventually inspired to adopt the distinctive name of Kossuth and The Turncoat as its creative trademark.

The music of Kossuth and The Turncoat primarily pulls from elements of RocknRoll.  In addition, Blues, Bluegrass, Reggae and Orchestral music can also be observed in their refreshing Indie sound. Kossuth and The Turncoat seeks to write songs regarding personal, political, social, religious, and cultural issues that are a part of the human experience. "Our goal is to create effectual music that honors the past and represents a sound uniquely indicative of the present."

Kossuth and The Turncoat is comprised of band mates Brian Kacsandi (lead vocals), Donald Schuler (guitar), Derek Little (synth/bass), and Josh Walls (drums).

Kossuth and The Turncoat officially released there debut album titled "1848" in August of 2016. 

I have been producing electronic dance, trance, progressive, and chillout music since 2010. I was originally trained in piano, drums, and guitar, but my musical tastes have always been drawn to the sounds and feelings of electronic music. I draw inspiration from artists such as Solarstone, Antillas, Conjure One, and Maor Levi--I like to combine lush melodies with sweeping buildups and breakdowns, unique percussion, and emotional energy.

Recently I've started hosting a weekly FM radio show, Electronic Underground, featuring unsigned and emerging artists in trance, progressive, and chillout. For more information on the show, visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/electronicundergroundradio
