The Under are:

Daniel Costa-electric guitar and vocals

Jason Walker-electric bass guitar

Randy Odierno-acoustic drums

Take three passionate musicians whose technique is in lockstep with their penchant for unbridled expresson. Combine that with the finest elements of progressive rock, metal, and punk. Tack on a strong songwriting emphasis and a style that often strays from convention. The result is an epic sound that is thoughtful, aggressive, brooding, and simultaneously melodic. For those who seek this kind of substance in their music, we welcome you to The Under.

Dan Costa had been wrting songs for as long as he can remember. Winding compositions and an atypical songwriting approach were his musical trademarks. While these traits left many a bandmate in bewilderment, it made perfect sense to bassist Jason Walker when the two jammed after meeting at a party in ‘04. A veteran of the Boston music scene, not to mention being completely obsessed with Voivod and Black Flag, Jason became an instant partner for any potential music project.

It wasn’t long before the guys met Randy Odierno of the legendary metal outfits Disrupt and Grief. In an online ad Randy had made no mention of his former bands, instead choosing to pronounce a deep enthusiasm for prog rock and doom metal. One super-long phone call and a jam session later, The Under was born.

For music that is rife with meaning, atmosphere, and innovation, the search begins and ends with The Under.
