Biography
Intake
Intake was born and raised in, entertainment-wise, one of the most
fertile areas of the United States, the New York City metropolitan
area. They hail from northern New Jersey, which puts them right in
between the well-respected NYC scene and the ever-growing south
Jersey scene. With such acts as Type O Negative, Life Of Agony,
and recently signed Ill Nino, this area is known for producing great
musical acts and is a focal point for A&R reps. The scene is
evolving into one of the premier scenes of the country.
Originally, Intake was formed in late 1999, with a four-piece line-up.
Gaining experience in the recording studio as well as the local
scene itself (playing with big NJ acts like Ill Nino, Among Thieves,
and Stereo Mud) they decided it was time to realign. With the
addition of a second guitarist and new lead singer, Intake has
matured into a five-piece heavy metal force to be reckoned with. In
late 2000 they hooked up with producer Mike Jackson and
recorded their debut full-length album, "The Insurgence" which is
due out for public release in June of 2001. The album was
recorded at Rhyme, Rhythm and Reason in East Rutherford, NJ and
at Digital Mobile in Upper Saddle River, NJ.
Intake has been creating a buzz in NJ and on the Internet. Their
website, intake1.com, averages over 700 hits a month. They
released two songs, "Hole" and "Hard to Live" on MP3.com and
saw them rise into the top 100 on the heavy metal charts within a
week. Intake is constantly promoting and letting everyone know
that they are coming full-force like a Mac Truck.
As of late Intake has been playing shows here and there, and every
time they play their audience grows. Demand for their debut album
"The Insurgence" is getting more and more intense, and their
crowd is growing every time they play. The buzz has begun and
Intake seeks to capitalize on that buzz and become one of the
premier bands on the scene.
Intake brings an energy-packed show with non-stop intensity. Their
thick rhythms, heavy grooves, energetic leads and intense vocals
combine to make Intake an ear-catching experience that you can't
mistake. When this band hits the stage, heads turn.
