About

Hailing from Southern California, The Material has established themselves as one of the West Coast's most dedicated up-and-comers. With their recent full length, What We Are (Brian Grider) having been released in January of 2011, the group has begun building a strong fan base nationwide.

Before the release of What We Are, The Material joined up with Every Avenue, There For Tomorrow, Sing It Loud, and The Secret Handshake for the 2010 Motel 6 "Rock Yourself To Sleep Tour." The band has since toured non-stop, playing with the likes of Ivoryline on the "As Tall As Texas" tour, New years Day this past summer, as well as SXSW, NAMM, Warped Tour and Summerfest in 2011. In addition, The Material wrote the theme song for MTV Australia's "Freshwater Blue" and their fans have purchased over 300,000 downloads to date of their songs "Moving To Seattle" and "Stay Here Forever" on the video game ROCK BAND.
