The Fold
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Fold
The Fold is a Chicago based rock outfit on Tooth and Nail Records which began from the remnants of four previous bands, including Warner Brothers group, Showoff and Chicago-based bands Starstruck and Epsin 12. Showoff member's Daniel Castady, Kyle Lewis and Magoo teamed up with former The Juliana Theory Drummer Chris after departing from Showoff's lead singer Chris Envy who joined Chicago rock group Fall Out Boy. The Fold was initially a secular rock group releasing one home-recorded EP and played their first show ever with that lineup on August 4th, 2002 headlining Third Party Productions' annual Punk/Ska Fest at the Rhythm Room in Cleveland Ohio with Tooth Fuzz and Trendy.
Band Members
The Fold began in 2002 as the brainchild of lead vocalist and guitarist, Daniel Castady. Rounding out the line-up of early twenties-somethings is Aaron Green on guitar, Keith Mochel on bass and Mark Rhoades on drums.Quotes
“It will only strengthen the structure that we have already been building,” Castady elaborates on their recent signing to the Tooth & Nail. “The people there are very much in tune with what we’re trying to do and we are confident that we have an exciting road ahead!”Fanbase & Future
What they have been building is a solid fanbase not only in the midwest, but throughout the nation as well via their already packed tour schedule, joining groups like Allister and Spoken on the road. Additionally, having already established themselves in previous bands has not only allowed The Fold a chance to mature via their experience, but to also have a more concise focus on what they would like to transpire in their future.Influences
“The band FAR really inspires us, though they broke up a good 5 years ago,” Castady explains. “Musically we would like to pick up where they left off.”Now The Fold will have their chance to do just that. The band recorded with Steven Haigler (Local H, Brand New, Quicksand, Fuel) in New York City this month, look for The Fold’s debut Tooth and Nail Records
“I think it’s going to be a great sounding record,” Castady concludes. “As for the songs, we’re writing about three times as many as we could possibly use, so we hope that through the process of elimination we come out with a timeless selection of music.”
