Daily Inspiration: Meet Droidian Slip

Today we’d like to introduce you to Droidian Slip.  

Hi Droidian, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
It all started with Brendan (our lead guitarist/vocalist) wanting to do some sort of solo punk rock music project wherein he did something to the effect of the first foo fighters’ album – playing all of the instruments, mixing, recording, and releasing entirely independently. But, along the way, he realized that he required some drumming that wasn’t HIS and outsourced. This is where Alex (our drummer) came in. Together the two of them attempted a bunch of different sounds including but not limited to Green Day, lag wagon, T.S.O.l, the misfits, blitz kid, and vein.FM, knocked loose, and omerta. But, as the project was started on June 12th, 2020, no live opportunities were available which allowed them to expand on and define a sound. It wasn’t until October 29th of 2021 that the guys saw any action. The action in question is their first show ever. It was a Halloween show with the likes of Hokori, Pick Axe Preacher, witch fist, DE cranium, and Disciety. From there, things started kicking off. The duet version of Droidian Slip lasted until the week before January 29th when they acquired their bassist, Jacob. From there they, as a trio (as of June 29th, 2022) have played 7 shows together. As of the same date, we have our first headliner in a month. Overall, we plan to go as far as possible with this project. By 2023 we hope to be booked to a metal festival, by 2024 we hope to have gone on a tour of the Midwest, and by 2025 we hope to have gotten the opportunity to open for a national band. 

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The journey for us, thankfully, has been relatively smooth. Overall, we have been thoroughly surprised by the rapid growth and amazing opportunities offered to us. The only struggles we’ve really had up to this point are communication amongst ourselves and occasionally communication regarding planning with outside sources of promotion and planning. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
We are a music group from Bay City specializing in sonic terrorism by way of blaring and emotionally-charged punk rock. We are most known for being much younger than our counterparts in our local and state music scene. Time and time again we are awarded compliments about how good we are despite our age. What we as a collective are most proud of are our songs chained (which was a complete accident) and kids these days… which we came up with in less than 15 minutes start to finish in our local studio, the source of light and power. This studio also happens to be where we recorded our debut EP in late March of 2022 What sets us apart from others is our age and overall musical ability. We’re tight, aggressive, and powerful while two of the members still regularly attend central high school. 

So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
People can work with us in a number of ways but the way we see most fit is to be reached out to directly on our Instagram for show booking and other collaborative opportunities such as a feature on a song or an idea for one. As for the support we can be supported in three distinct ways. The first is a follow on our Instagram (droidian_slip), the second is an appearance at our live performances, and the third is the listening of our music on all streaming platforms. If you’d like to share our music and or show dates around that’s a super special fourth option.
