Until I'm Dead

POUNDERS are a rock power trio based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Their style blends infectious melodies, catchy hooks, driving bass lines and snappy rhythms.  POUNDERS has a unique range of tastes that influence their music, including rock, punk, metal, dance, and hip-hop.  The staple of the band is by far their live performance and the amazing energy they display to their audience.  POUNDERS have taken the bay area music scene by storm and proudly wave the flag for the resurgence of rock and roll in California.

This trio literally owns the stage with their electrifying stage antics, creating buzz each time they perform, leaving audiences longing for more.

With the release of their new album "Chasing The Sun" in Winter 2010, POUNDERS have been persistent in getting their music out to the masses.  Three of their songs have been played by Aaron Axelsen on Live 105 during his Radio Soundcheck program.  The band has also acquired a DIY distribution deal with Hot Topic, releasing an exclusive edition of "Chasing The Sun" with new songs that was shipped to various stores on the West Coast.

POUNDERS have already had the honor of playing Vans Warped Tour in 2008, the Morgan Hill Music Series and Wine Festival, Santana Row Music Series, Left Coast Live in 2010 (with Neon Trees and OK Go) and 2011 (with The Limousines and The Postelles), the Whiskey A Go-Go in LA, and various Hot Topic stores throughout California, plus they shared the stage with Filter, and even Mike Herrera of MxPx at their own CD Release!

What makes this band even more special is the individual accomplishments of the band members.  Chris and Justin were back-up singers for 30 Seconds To Mars on Conan; Chris was on America's Got Talent and the Latin Grammy Awards, plus he performed live at the NBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas with Stomp; Justin has performed live on the Projekt Revolution Tour, hosted Nickelodeon's Slime Time LIVE, choreographs routines and performs in stage shows including Paramount’s School of Rock LIVE! and Street Drum Corps presents BANG!, and was featured in Drum! Magazines April 2007 issue as the "New Blood" drummer to look out for; and Alonso has opened for Exodus, Fishbone and Unwritten Law, plus he also plays bass in SoleJive and Shadow Beat Ritual, which played the California Music Fest in 2009.
