Biography

Automatic refers to various artists:

1) Louisville, KY 90s hardcore band
2) Independent Label Owner
3) Bay Area sensation
4) West Coast Rap
5) 90’s Australian alternative rock band


1). A band from Louisville

Former Mouthpiece guitarist Matt Wieder moved to Louisville a few years back, and played in Guilt and The Enkindels before deciding to put together a straight edge band with Enkindels/By The Grace Of God drummer Thommy Browne. They recorded their first seven inch with Thommy on drums and Matt doing everything else before recruiting more members for the band.

When Automatic became a fully functioning outfit, they found their guitarist in local hardcore scenester Ryan Patterson. Ben Teague later signed on to play the first couple of shows and never left. The second guitar spot has been a revolving door but the core of the band has remained the same.

The band’s sound is melodic and catchy, highly reminiscent of Dag Nasty- something Automatic isn’t ashamed about at all. While most hardcore bands site the New York sound as a primary influence, Automatic take their sound and ideology from Washington D.C. greats like Swiz, Ignition, Bad Brains, Gray Matter and yes, Dag Nasty.

Ryan sums up the bands outlook on straight edge and being part of a “revival” movement. “We wanted to start a band that were guys that were a little bit older but were still straight edge and still into hardcore,” Ryan points out that, “we are going to begin a hardcore band and end a hardcore band. Every one of our songs has rock aspects to it so there ‘s no need for us
to put out our ‘Staring Into The Sun’ or ‘Aftertaste’.
