Without Warning

Without Warning is a hard rock/metal band hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. With a heavy hitting take on old school metal, Without Warning brings you the combination of powerful vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and face melting solos. The group was formed in 2013, and consists of lead vocalist and bassist Ian Raposa, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Darryl Santana, lead guitarist Keith Conway, and drummer Nate Lavins. They have released two tracks and an Alter Bridge vocal cover (Produced by Aart Knyff, and mastered by Bob St. John who has done previous work with Extreme, Duran Duran, and many others), and are hard at work to premiere their first full EP. The band has released a music video for their song “Lost”, which is available to stream now. In just over a year, they have gained local recognition and have performed for multiple national acts. Most recently, Without Warning competed in, and won, a battle of the bands for a shot to play at the Worcester Palladium New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. As champions, they opened up the main stage on the 2nd night for Testament and Exodus. They were invited to play at Arch Enemy’s U.S. Tour during their stop in Massachusetts, which included Kreator, Huntress, and Starkill. They opened up for the Hookers & BLOW Rock & Comedy tour featuring Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses), Alex Grossi (Quiet Riot), Johhny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig), and Mike Duba (Hotel Diablo), which was hosted by Don Jamieson from VH1’s “That Metal Show”. The band was nominated for LimeLight Magazine’s 2015 Metal Act of the year. Their songs have been featured on local radio stations such as WAAF Bay State Rock with Dave Crespo, WEMF with Robby Roadsteamer, and Indie Scene Radio with Gerg Anidem. They were finalists for the Break Thru Music Battle for Rock and Shock 2014, and were selected as 1 of 26 bands out of over 500 entrants to compete in the Last Band Standing competition at the Boston Hard Rock Cafe in 2014.
