Biography
Cold Steel was formed in January of 2005, and includes 18-year old Alex DiBaise on vocals and guitar, his twin brother Matt DiBaise on lead guitar, 16-year old Gage McClain on drums and 17-year old Josh Graves on bass. When the band formed, its members were ages 12 to 14, but their skills were already at the level of long-time musicians. The band’s sound is unique, yet obviously influenced by bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold.
In December of 2006, Cold Steel recorded their first 5-song EP, “And It Begins”. The band returned to the studio in late 2007 to begin work on their first full-length CD, and wrapped production in March 2008. A national college radio campaign saw the band on over 140 radio stations in 42 states in support of the CD. The single "Stuck" and its accompanying video were released, and the music video for "Stuck" aired nationwide on Fuse on Demand and was requested over 4,200 times during the month of September 2008.
Now ranging in ages from 16 to 18, has just released a new EP with Grammy-nominated producer Tom Tatman (Stone Sour) at the helm.
On stage, Cold Steel performs with the adrenaline of youth and the experience of over 200 live shows they've performed. Their ability to "play it like the record" is a major source of pride for the band.
