The Wrecks are nothing if not resourceful.
The group’s very origin story is a testament to a rare level of D.I.Y. craftiness that has quietly cemented
them as an independent phenomenon with an intensely faithful fan base, over a quarter-of-a-billion
streams, and successive sold-out headline tours.
Rewinding back to the beginning, the Los Angeles-based band— Nick Anderson [vocals, guitar,
keyboard, production], Nicholas “Schmizz” Schmidt [lead guitar], Aaron Kelley [bass], and
William “Billy” Nally [drums]—actually recorded their first batch of tunes under clandestine cover in a
“borrowed studio.”
Bay Area thrash legends Exodus are bringing their insane energy and relentless riffs back home to the UC Theatre!

“We’re doing what we’re having a good time doing. And if we don’t have a good time doing it,we’ll find something else to do.”
Join us for an unforgettable night of crushing riffs and unrelenting energy as death metal legends Obituary take over the UC Theatre on April 27th! Obituary is here to show the world why they reign supreme as death metal royalty.

Originally formed as Daylight in 2007, the grunge revivalists changed their name to Superheaven in 2014. Although their name changed, their sound, which drew upon the driving and sludgy melodies of the '90s for inspiration, remained, with nods to bands like Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden still intact. Looking to reintroduce themselves to the world, they reissued their full-length debut, Jar, under their new name in 2014. The following year saw them ink a deal with Los Angeles-based indie Side One Dummy and release Ours Is Chrome. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi
