DROPOUT KINGS – Austin

Dropout Kings (formerly Phoenix Down) is an American nu metal band from Phoenix, Arizona that formed in 2016. They are currently signed with Napalm Records and have released one album; Audiodope, which was released on August 10, 2018.

Combining the aural aggression of today’s modern metalcore with an audacious ability to explore new sonic territory, Lost in Separation is a four piece band from Dallas, Texas.

Taking influence from bands such as Architects, Northlane, Counterparts, and Erra, Andrew Hickman (lead guitar) begun the band in his bedroom in 2015, putting together demo tracks after the breakup of his prior band. Ambitious to begin again, Andrew recruited Josh Fernandez (percussion) through mutual friends and similar taste. After difficulty finding a vocalist and bassist qualified for the technical nature of the music, the lineup was finally complete with the joining of Garrett Parsa (vocals) and Ryon Boswell (bass).

Debut album “Sister Moon” (2018) consists of a professional palette of different metal categories while still holding down a familiar approach to the metalcore genre, showing the band’s flexibility and adventurous approach to melody and dissonance. Lost in Separation intends to continue extending musical approachability while keeping intermittent interest for analytical listeners in their future work.
