Modern Day Slave delivers an in your face metal vibe to keep even the hardest rockers up front and center. Yet their music is unique in that the vocal delivery can come from anywhere, from rap to full blown metal. Influenced by life more than anything, Modern Day Slave's music is an aggressive form of day to day issues; referring to the present day form of slavery of which we are all a part of. Coming from humble backgrounds, Fontaine, Niles, Dustin and Nick know what its like to work hard, fight, and survive…and it shows. They want everyone at the show walking away feeling like at least one song was written for them.
Originally formed in 2004, Modern Day Slave has undergone extensive growth as a band over the past 5 years. Consequently they have become a staple in the SC music scene and continue to expand their fan base throughout the southeast. In early 2008 Steve Fontaine blew a breath of fresh air into their project adding vocal elements that changed their overall sound for the better.
"Modern Day Slave has accomplished the ever popular dark rock and metal sound perfectly. The gravely voice mixed with smooth, fast raps give them a unique sound reminiscent of a Staind, Cypress Hill, Godsmack smoothie. I particularly liked during "Intervention Cry" the guitarist ode to Skynyrd's "Free Bird" playing harmonics. Present in all of the songs is a great drumbeat and rhythm guitar. Always a fan of heavy bass lines the band's heavy metal bass line does not disappoint. As for their looks--The lead singer looks like a heavier Giovanni Ribisi. Look out, Limp Bizkit/Puddle of Mudd is back."- Intern of Deep South Ent.
“Modern Day Slave reminds me of a great heavyweight fighter. This
band has the ability to impress with their footwork and jab with the slower melodic tracks such as "Intervention Cry" and "Drugs All Day".But just like a great ring technician, just when you are groovin' to those tunes, they will crush your skull with "Bipolar" and "Welcome To America". Throw in a Salt N' Pepa remake (Push It) and you have yourself a well trained, well rounded prize fighter that is destined to win the title.”- Michael Williams from All Stars of Rock
