About Us
This Is The Storm!
- Born in Colorado, jammin' through blizzards, and igniting stormy nights -
Our adventure began in the heart of winter 2023, where almost every practice session was a showdown with the elements. With snowstorms howling outside, we channeled that energy into our sound, creating music that’s as intense as the storms that inspired us. Thus, This Is The Storm was born—a band forged in the cold, delivering music that’s anything but.
We’re here to shake the mountains, electrify the skies, and bring a sonic storm to your ears!
Reviews
SPIN (magazine) - Ron Hart reviews "Machine"
"I totally hear the Colorado vibes in this song! It's like a welcome hello from an old friend. But then it goes into a more punkish direction I wasn't expecting before falling back into the "Mountain Rock" groove."
AvA Live Radio - Music Review: “Machine”
"This Is The Storm storms back into the spotlight with “Machine,” the lead single from their new album Try Me, a bold and electrifying exploration of AI and its impact on humanity. Rooted in a genre-blending mix of funk, blues, and rock, the track captures the band’s trademark ability to infuse meaningful storytelling with killer grooves and searing energy.
“Machine” kicks off with a funky, blues-infused rhythm that feels like a nod to late-night winter jam sessions, effortlessly laying the groundwork for the track’s expansive sonic journey. The influence of The Cars is unmistakable, with tightly polished elements and crisp rhythms lending the song a retro edge. But it’s the fiery guitar riffs and Hendrix-inspired flourishes that make this track soar. Once the guitar work gets started, with soulful bends and gritty tones that build into a jaw-dropping solo at the end it delivers a finale that feels both raw and transcendent.
Thematically, “Machine” is a rock anthem for the modern era with strong roots of the past. The lyrics explore the tension between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
The band’s folk-rock roots shine through in the storytelling, giving the track an emotional depth that’s as compelling as its oddly scored rhythm. Even though the song sounds disjointed at times lacking typical transitional phrases connecting its parts, the performance is magnetic, blending grit and passion to make something different while mixing old with the new. The interplay between the funk-inspired basslines and guitar wizardry gives the song a dynamic feel, constantly shifting between groove-heavy verses and explosive, anthem-like guitars.."
