Fueled by the fire to push the boundaries of modern rock music, SIDEWISE
formed in Lawrence, Kansas in 2001.
The band crammed into a small house and set each other on creative fire amidst
engineering a sound to invoke the innermost raw emotions in every audience.
From this creative hive the band emerged with "Enough ball-busting vitriol to bring
down a small army",according to The Kansas City Star.
With an energetic and captivating live performance, the 5-piece has toured
the entire Midwest repeatedly, playing over 400 shows across over a dozen
states including opening slots for many national acts including Slipknot, Hinder, Saving Abel,
Fall Out Boy, Rob Zombie, GodSmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Sevendust, Shinedown, 36 CrazyFists, Powerman 5000, Flaw, Les Claypol, Unearth, As I Lay Dying, Bobaflex, Cold, Machine
Head, and Life of Agony
Completely self-sufficiently, Sidewise has released 3 full-length albums and
a DVD/EP, which have won numerous regional rock awards. Their latest
release "Acrasia" dropped in September 2009. They are currently working on
their new EP "The Singularity" due out in 2011.
Sidewise is now focused more than ever to reach new
professional levels. The band continues to tour and promote with
aggressive grass-roots efforts while their Management team continues to explore
new opportunities for the band. All signs are clearly pointing towards a
prosperous and success filled 2011.
