- BIO
- PICKAXE originated in May of 2006 in Crestline, CA. by bassist Ryan Lightfoot, singer/guitarist Ehren Behringer, guitarist Lester Maness and drummer Garet Cox. The four decided to come together and start a project that could incorporate all of their musical influences and talents into one sound; that sound was a combination of classic rock fortified with modern, hard rock styles creating the new sound of California's heavy music scene.
PICKAXE drew inspiration from legendary bands such as Mastodon, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, The Sword, Pantera, Alice in Chains; combined them with modern and more mainstream influences such as the Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Down.
PICKAXE evolved, from a very heavy and aggressive proposition, into a unique, universally appealing rock sound with heavy intonations. The purpose of PICKAXE was to form a band that would be able to take the shape and form of anything on the scene to maintain a cross-over ability and to end up with a sound that does exactly that. The purpose of PICKAXE is to be the next big band with appeal to bring ROCK to a vast audience, but reaching our demographic through the heavier side of the commercial spectrum; breaking new ground using classic vocals of rock meshed with powerful guitar riffs and a versatile and aggressive rhythm section. PICKAXE' drive and desire to succeed will undoubtedly continue to take their music to new levels which will showcase their ability to evolve with the market, but never lose their identity.
