BIO (brief) Throughout the history of metal and Rock music, chance encounters have calibrated the way one listens to music and defined the chemistry of artists working together to form their sonic sculptures of which we are accustomed to hearing in their own existence.

BIO (extended) Stephen, Dennis, Matt and John (via Iowa) all come from Northern California. They play heavy rock music that retains what most music lacks these days, which is soul and musicianship. With arrangements that reflect Tool, aggression that is reminiscent of Pantera and emotion that resembles A Perfect Circle, the music blends dynamics, emotion and melody with hooks that leave you singing it all day. Their ideas for future releases, performing concerts and long-term goals, requires picking industry professionals that are ready to help promote them to the highest level possible.
The band has taken on every aspect of their career all on their own. Including:
1. Designing their own website
2. Purchasing and securing numic.com /.org / and .net
3. All artwork for flyers and promotional supplies
4. Booking shows
5. Making videos
6. Managing stage shows
7. Creating hot selling merchandise IE hats, shirts, etc.
8. Web based promotions
9. The members of Numic even built their own pro-grade recording studio in the heart of the Napa Valley to record their own albums. It was there in early 2005 they recorded “Recrudescent Feed”. The album was produced, mixed, engineered and paid for duplication by band members. It went on to become a critically acclaimed success. With a few outstanding press reviews and tons of great buyer/listener reviews, the record continues to sell like hotcakes. Even with almost no radio play other than a few late Sunday nights on KSJO (before the stations Demise in late 2004) and on KRXQ 98.5 Local Licks in Sacramento, the album seems to have taken on a life of it’s own with word of mouth. Purchased by way of “Myspace” and “Cdbaby” or out of the back seats of cars.
The sound of Numic has been heard/seen/felt mostly in Northern California in places such as Slims-SF, The Boardwalk-Sac, California State Fair, Phoenix Theatre-Petaluma and The Whiskey A go go- Hollywood. With every show their audience is growing larger and more inspired. But in the beginning to give a sort of “kick start”, Numic purchased and restored a 1965 GM Greyhound bus. Converted into a tour bus, the vehicle was used to shuttle an average of 20-30 fans to out of town shows.
In August of 2005, Numic’s song “Thrown Away” was featured on “ Sacramento Rocks vol 12” A compilation cd featuring the best bands of Sacramento and benefiting the Mustard Seed School for homeless children.
“in the seven years or so I’ve been doing this local thing, I’ve never been so amazed by a local band like I am with this band right here! And you’re about to hear em…Numic!” -Mark Gilmore DJ KRXQ 98.5 Local Licks Show
