In this episode of the Riffs n Rhythms Podcast, we sit down with Jacksonville-based hard rock/metal band Vermillion—a young group making serious noise with their sound, musicianship, and next-level live setup.

We dive into how the band formed straight out of high school, their influences (from Tool to early 2000s rock), and what it’s like breaking into Florida’s local music scene. But what really sets these guys apart? Their insane live rig—running dozens of channels, triggering samples in real time, and pulling it all off without relying on backing tracks.

We also get into:

  •  Their songwriting and recording process 
  •  The challenges of playing original metal in today’s venue scene 
  •  Touring stories from Bike Week and beyond 
  •  Upcoming shows and what’s next for the band 

If you’re into heavy music, live performance, or just want to hear how a young band is doing it the right way—this is one you don’t want to miss. FOLLOW Vermillion on FB: VermillionBand2021 & IG: Vermillion.band.official
