Carbon 9 Bio

Noted as the “Hardest-working band in LA”, CARBON 9 is unlike any other. Their commercial hard rock style of music is cutting edge, relying heavily on advanced technology and state of the art sounds. Although they utilize technology to their advantage, the message is very clear, “Know who you are, know who you are not and while doing so, do not lose sight of humanity. Beware of the advancements in technology splitting apart the human psyche”. Their latest release titled, “The Bull”, is untouchable. It is part three in a series of information that guides the listener on their passage through real life. The underlying message, “You are not alone”.
