Biography:
Double Bind (multiple personality crisis) was co-founded in July 1998 by Vocalist/guitarist Javier Laureano, and drummer Lazaro Diaz. After several changes, the current line-up also includes bassist Peter Norvaisas. Originally from Puerto Rico, the rock trio has now relocated in Tampa, Florida. They have created their own original style of music by combining each of the members' different tastes. They like to refer to their music as "Alternative Metal", which combines subtle melodies with heavy riffs. The band's name fits the music perfectly by having strongly noticeable mood swings. Some of their influences include Deftones, Chevelle, Incubus and Taproot, to name a few. The majority of the lyrics reflects and criticizes the harsh reality of life and its perils. After years of headlining venues, the band has recorded two three- song demos, a four song demo and their first full length independent release entitled "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Casebook". They are currently promoting the album with hopes of a recording contract. The songs have received some airplay in P.R. and some cities in the U. S. and also through Internet radio. The band also has signed a publishing deal with DSM Producers, a well- known publishing company that has worked with many recording artists and have scored many soundtracks in major motion pictures.
