It is a rare occurrence that you come across a band with equal parts talent and heart, a band willing to work for every gain, without expectations from others, but with the highest expectations for themselves. MODENA is one of the few modern rock bands whose music is as strong as their will.

The band has unequivocal disipline and purpose in everything they offer, from the studio recording, to the live show, to their personal interaction and connection to their fans. Audiences instantly feel a bond to MODENA that transcends genre labeling and places the focus back on the music, rather than the labels.

Their dedication and raw emotion is earning them the respect of listeners everywhere they play while cultivating a loyal fan base, not just in their home town, but to thousands throughout the southeast as well as overseas.

Any music fan can ravage in Justin’s lead guitar, flowing perfectly over James’ original, catchy and melodic riffs. Derek’s percussion consistently remains in the pocket, intertwined with Stewy’s own simplistic, yet unique, style. The combination of two or more singers provides a deep and vast potential for their music as well.

MODENA doesn’t conform to a "blueprint,” so commonly heard in today’s new rock music. Their catchy, hard edged sound can not be defined by merely one classification. They are rock in its truest form, as committed to originality as to the rock scene itself. 

“There is no rule or formula for writing our music,” James says, “Everyone is open to do what they please as long as it sounds right. There’s no such thing as a hierarchy in our band.”

With a complete lineup and an EP of original songs, MODENA stands poised at the forefront of a new generation of rock n’ roll bands, ready to return the Raleigh scene to its creative roots as a musical oasis and hurl rock back to the top of the artistic tier.
