My Way

The sum total of Ceasefire can be broken down into the individual parts that compose this project of passion. Where music is just a pastime or hobby for some, Ray Alexander (vocals), Kamren Alexander (guitar), Danny Molloy (bass) and Anthony Hainsworth (drums) believe in it as a lifestyle. And while the band’s name may indicate a pause in the action, the music is a bombastic expression of the human experience and they’ve only just begun.

Ceasefire have one goal and that is to be a sonic force of a rock band that moves the head as well as the strings of the heart. Formed in 2011 and based in Orange County, CA they are known foremost for their incredible live performances, Ray’s captivating vocal presence and Kamren’s razor sharp guitar hooks that are part art, part science. Theirs is a sound that channels 80s new wave, 90s arena rock and elements of homage to their broad stretch of influences which range from Joy Division to Oasis, Morrissey to Pink Floyd and the Cure to ELO (yes, that ELO).

How Ceasefire came to be follows the same pattern as many other bands: we have the Myspace classifieds to thank for Anthony and from a mutual friend’s astute referral came Danny Molloy Brothers Ray and Kamren seemed to know at an early age that music was their future and have become the band’s primary lyricists and the songs are what their feelings sound like. A melody, a guitar tone, a chord or an audio experiment can be the catalyst for what eventually becomes the next dynamic song like the New Wave Synth Arena Rock hit, "In the Dead of Night"

“This is a band that plays the same sort of rock that fills arenas at every U2 show”-Orange County Music Examiner

And arenas are what Ceasefire is aiming for. In 2013 the boys entered the studio with Josh Mosser (Imagine Dragons, Skylar Grey, and Christina Aguilera) and mixes by Mark Needham (Pink, Neon Trees and Walk the Moon) to record their Debut EP, "In the Dead of Night EP." They’ve shared the stage with Everclear, Daughtry and Dramarama, were nominated for Best Live Band at the 2012 OC Music Awards and have had their music featured in episodes MTV programs such as The Hills, The City and The Real World. This is a band on the ascent.
