Acrid was a sludgy/doomy/grindy-metalcore band from Mississauga that was initiated by Neil Rodman on vocals, Jeff Almond on guitar and Dave Buschemeyer on drums. This was in November of 1995, right after Jeff Almond had quit Ignorance Never Settles (he was still playing bass in Montgomery 21). They didn’t have a bassist and Ryan Hunter (still in Ignorance Never Settles) was brought in. Dave was also from the same scene, having played in the pre-INS band Unheard and playing guitar in New Day Rising at the time. Neil Rodman was a friend of New Day Rising who rehearsed with them and would later sing backup vocals at some of their live shows. Dave had always wanted to start a band with Neil, and so they did. The name “Acrid” was chosen because it meant exactly what they were representing with their sound, although they always considered themselves “Emo kids who played Grindcore”. Early influences came from Black Sabbath, Downcast, Groundwork, Rorschach and Struggle. « hide |
