Spirit and the Bride is a Christian hardcore and metalcore band from Cincinnati, Ohio. The band formed in 2010.

History

Spirit and the Bride formed in 2010, with the lineup of Vocalist Josh Simmons, Drummer Adam Simmons, and Guitarist Josh Summerville. The band performed their first show as a trio, before adding Devin Scarth into the lineup in 2011.[4] Scarth departed from the band, being replaced Preston Tucker.[4] In 2013, Tucker left the band, his position was filled by Jeremiah Medley. In 2014, the band released With Eyes and Ears to See and Hear independently. In 2015, the band signed with OnTheAttack Records, a Christian hardcore label from San Francisco, California.[3] OnTheAttack would re-release the album through the label.[4] The band would perform shows all throughout 2016, until they announced the release of Dry Bones.[5] Dry Bones was released on May 30, 2017, marking the band's debut on the label.[6] The band would go on to play Audiofeed 2017.[4]

Influences and Style

Spirit and the Bride have stated in previous interviews that they have been influenced heavily by bands, such as Advent,[4][7] Norma Jean[7] (O God, the Aftermath era)[4], Thrice,[7] Venia,[4][7] Sleeping Giant,[7] Comeback Kid,[4] The Red Baron,[4] and The Chariot.[4] However, reviewers have described the band as having an older Christian hardcore and old-school hardcore style, sounding like bands such as Focused, Zao, Strongarm, Shai Hulud, Brother's Keeper and even post-hardcore bands such as The Blamed.[8]
