MODENA offers a professional yet edgy sound for fans of all rock and roll sub-genres. Hailing from North Carolina, the band met more than a decade ago through a mix of mutual friends. After years of perfecting new material and honing their stage skills on the road, the band raised enough money through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to record their first full length album with legendary producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank).
'LEVERAGE' is littered with catchy hooks, soulful bass lines, and crunchy guitars. Combined with tight percussion, vocal harmonies, and epic guitar solos, these elements make up a unique wall of sound. Listeners are engaged into overdrive with well thought out songwriting and a straight ahead rock sound.
The band recently acquired bassist Mark Whichard and drummer Trey Willits from the Raleigh metal band Jonin. With a fresh lineup and a new album in the works, MODENA is ready to get back into the studio and record their follow up to Leverage. The new songs show a certain maturity and evolution in their songwriting. Be on the lookout for their new record and more tour dates later this year!

“Such feel and love in their sound. I dig it. Great use of dynamics and transitions. Modena brings you into their story. They write the chapter as you hear each driven, passionate riff with top notch vocal lines and harmonies, solid drumming, groovy bass, and just a tight, intricately woven band.”
Ryan Reedy, music producer - RRMS
"The producer did a very good job introducing a beautiful tone to start off the music. The tune sounds so beautiful and helps me relieve stress and think straight. 'Surrounding You' is very positive and makes me think positive."
Fan Review - Reverbnation
"Between crunchy guitar riffs, soaring solos, and infectious vocal melodies, Leverage is a high-energy and thoroughly enjoyable record."
Jessie Rodgers - Radio Free Charlotte
“'Hang it High' features two of my favorite things in metal music: chunky guitar and pinched harmonics. I found myself singing along to each song after only hearing the chorus a few times. You can’t help but bob your head and tap your foot to the beat.”
Sue Hardee - RaleighMusic.com
“Your music has captured me from the get go! There is a uniqueness in your style, and I find your music quite refreshing, and not only that...you guys are the friendliest peeps out there! I wish you all the best and keep on rocking!!”
Tracey - California, USA - Modena Fan
