WEAR AWAY is a hardcore band based in Los Angeles, CA. Although the band is new, their style and values scream old school Cali hardcore. The current lineup is comprised of singer Nate Schultz (THE SCREAMING SKULLS, LOCK/JAW), guitarists Memo Hernandez (LOCK/JAW) and Aren Hacobian (DESPITE LOYALTY), bassist Art Bertik (DESPITE LOYALTY, STRANGLED BY STRANGULATION), and drummer Bernabe Macaraeg (JHENÉ AIKO, B.O.B, BIG SEAN).

​

WEAR AWAY brings the punk rock attitude and extreme metal mentality into their music. The riffs are heavy and nasty, and the emotionally charged lyrics follow suit with anger and outrage. As such, these songs are cathartic expressions of depression and frustration against a broken system that's corrupt by design. The disgust and disdain for corruption in politics, religion, and society is palpable. This hatred is justified with righteous indignation.

​

The grungy instrumentation, heavy melodies, and bleak lyrics are actually empowering and inspiring. Their blood-boiling rhythms are perfect for headbanging, moshing, and slam dancing. As natural storytellers, WEAR AWAY have been carving a name for themselves in the world of hardcore, punk, and metal. With an impressive lineup of established musicians, they have already garnered a faithful cult following of dedicated fans. As they continue to play shows and write new songs, their reputation grows. Even more original material is yet to come, as WEAR AWAY hones their craft to perfection.
