In a city bloated by bright lights & fake breasts, five young men set out on a very real odyssey. Armed only with their natural talents, the lads of OTHERWISE battle vehemently against an enormous neon beast, trying desperately to show the world that Las Vegas rock bands have more to sing about than transvestites & harlequin girls. The Brothers Patrick have spent years attempting to motivate band mates that didn't have the drive, the dedication or, simply, the talent. That is no longer the case after hooking up with long-time friend & RCA recording-artist Dave McMahan. Like a mini-mafia, Dave vouched for Jason Juadines, who in turn brought Flavio Ivan into the Family Wise.
Under a new flag, OTHERWISE have won two separate $10,000 band battles, had their song "I am Spartacus" (about never letting negative influences affect the pursuit of your dreams) hand-picked by Travis Pastrana to appear on the soundtrack of his Nitro Circus: Thrillbillies DVD, & have shared the stage with major national acts like the Deftones, Papa Roach, Static X, Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, Saving Abel, Unwritten Law, Lost Prophets & Five Finger Deathpunch, to name just a few. OTHERWISE also recorded three killer songs with renowned rock producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Chevelle, Stone Temple Pilots, Escape the Fate, Story of the Year, Three Days Grace). With frontman Adrian Patrick's powerful, aggressive vocals spearheading the charge, guitarist Ryan Patrick is always there to defend his older brother with his lethal six-string.
"My brother & I consider ourselves poet-warriors, and we view the struggle to succeed, for our family and for our friends, as our own personal holy war," Adrian says. "We finally found the strength we were looking for in Dave, Jason & Flavio. Now all we need to find is that one
person in the music industry with vision." So instead of breaking local ordinances the boys have been breaking local attendance records, firmly securing their place among Las Vegas' elite rock outfits. Dubbed the "#1 unsigned act in America" by FOX News, and the "#1 unsigned band in Las Vegas" by Xtreme Rock Radio 107.5, OTHERWISE have a very bright future ahead of them.
These five young men plan to spread their message of hope and despair on unfurled wings of fortune and glory. On their quest for immortality, they plan to give no quarter. With the right team behind them, and a little luck, OTHERWISE sit poised to conquer their world, three and a half minutes at a time.
