Amecca was formed in October of 2008 as the original founders of Albacore. Consisting of five members; C.J. Gardner (Guitars), Max Brown (Bass), Anthony Stokes (Vocals), John Duran (Guitars) and Jeromy Bates (Drums ). The members were pulled from local bands that all used to play shows with each other with the simple goal of making the most unique, non-generic music that we could come up with. We wrote songs for about six months before we decided to play a show.
Further on the newly developed genre of Albacore, we created the genre as a dedication to some of the most premium food on the planet, Seafood. We also used the creation of a new genre to display the fact that we are different from every other market band. With fast paced death metal riffs and heavy breakdowns merging styles of bands such as Whitechapel and Oceano as well as The Faceless and Veil of Maya. We step away from the popular "Deathcore" scene by titling our songs after seafood platters and bringing awareness to the dying breeds of the Sea.
However, interesting enough, we are all HUGE consumers of seafood, primarily shrimp, crabs, and lobster tails. So be sure to check out our music, leave us some feedback and above all, come to our shows and hang out with us. Don't forget to bring us some shrimp.
Keepin' it fuckin' Shrimp since '08!
