Of Creations has planted roots and made a local name for itself over the past three years. Currently, Of Creations consists of Scott Urban on drums, Ian Stinson on guitar, Spencer Phipps on guitar, Brandon Reed on bass and Chris Sloan for vocals and electronics. Stinson and former second guitarist, Mel, began the formation of the quintet. Reed noticed a Craiglist ad for the band the same time Urban did. After the audition process, Urban and Reed were accepted into the band. “For that five-month period, there were a lot of lineup changes but then after that it has been pretty consistent ever since,”
Urban said.The band is lively and wants its crowd to be just as wild and have a good time and have some effect on viewers. “I want [the audience] to go home and remember us as that band that actually wanted to interact with them,” Reed said. “If people are paying to see us, I should make it worth their while.” The band isn’t afraid to high-five, mosh with or talk to their fans. Their music is usually in an upbeat tempo, which gives the audience the energy to let go of themselves. Almost a year ago, Of Creations came out with its first album called, “Reinventing Yourself,” and now gearing up for the next EP release.
“The new EP will be faster, have clean singing and be more technical,” Urban said. The album will include six songs that further demonstrate the band’s metalcore sound. The release show for the new EP, “Misbelief,” will be at 6 p.m. May 9 at the Selma Lions Club with an entry fee of $5. The Holy Guile, Hail to the King and Sirens also will play. Sloan encompasses his personal feelings and experiences into the meaning of each song. “It’s what [Sloan’s] going through at that time,” Reed said. “We leave the lyrics mostly up to him.” The theme that the band has been continuing with is reinventing yourself. Of Creations wants the audience to know that the fans can make their life better and take action to change it. The future for Of Creations looks bright, Urban said they don’t want to take anything too fast. “Bands like to jump in the water before they get their bathing suit on,” Urban said. Of Creations wants to make sure the band is in the perfect position to advance music and give fans the music they want.Contact them:
