==-- THANKS FOR LISTENING --==
CONTRA was formed as an instrumental 3-piece by former SOFA KING KILLER guitarist, Chris Chiera, and ex-FISTULA drummer, Aaron Brittain.  After briefly playing together in another local outfit, they sought to start their own band and enlisted the aid of SO LONG ALBATROSS bassist, Adam Horwatt.  Except rather than just having a bassist, the band decided on a different approach and adopted a two guitarist format, albeit with Adam playing 4-string baritone guitar.

CONTRA quickly wrote and recorded the “Son of Beast” demo and began a steady schedule of playing to great acclaim locally.  However, CONTRA wanted to add another layer to their potent mix of metal, blues, rock, and sludge by asking vocalist Larry Brent to join their ranks.  Larry had previously contributed vocals to local hardcore stalwarts DON AUSTIN, THE UNHOLY THREE, and SPLINTER, in addition to the Laughing Hyenas-influenced HATCHET JOB.  After only three shows, Larry began recording vocals to eight of the ten tracks of what will be CONTRA’s debut album.
