New up and coming local band from Orange County called "Without a Voice" played their first show Sunday evening at The Other Door in North Hollywood. "Without a Voice", consisting of three young men, Vincent Minter on guitar, Matt Brickner on the bass and Jordan Goldman on drums, have worked hard for five years to bring music that has meaning and provokes thought. The band name came from the fact that they do not yet have a vocalist, so they are currently an instrument-only band, but are still looking.
Today, a large number of music producers and artists make music for the profit. These three band members spend a lot of time practicing and perfecting their sound and it has become a reflection of who they are. They would rather make music that means something to them and will have a positive influence on listeners than to make money off a catchy hook. For them, money is just a bonus.
"Without a Voice" plays hard rock music, inspired by Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, Deftones and Incubus. "We like all sorts of music, but at the same time we want to have our own unique sound. We like what we play and that's what counts the most." - Jordan Goldman
The trio brought a lot of energy to the floor during their perfomance, creating a great atmosphere insude the low-key, dim-lit bar. Although it was their first live routine, they demonstrated their talents and showed great promise for the new journey they are embarking on together.
"One thing we are really looking to do, and are struggling with a bit, is finding our niche in the right places. That is very important. We can have the best band ever, but if we aren't playing our music to the right people, we are falling on deaf ears. We are trying to find our place in the music world. We are creating something out of nothing."- Vincent Minter
"We have tried to develop our own sound and not imitate anyone else. We are making our own mark. We are being ourselves through our music."- Matt Brickner

Most people pursue music because they like the fame and money associated with it. It's cool to see people who love music because it's their passion and they want to do something different. I think it is inspirational to see people do things to express themselves rather than to make money.
