LEXINGTON, KY - Opposite the Satellite, an indie band out of Virginia, has a style that mixes the sounds of southern rockers Lynard Skynard and the nu metal sound of the band KORN. Music doesn’t drive who OTS are. Who they are drives the music.
Brothers Andrew and Joe Bloomquest are joined by Todd Burton and James Rock in the striking quartet.
“We eat, sleep, drink and breathe Opposite the Satellite,” Andrew said. “It is an entity unto itself. It is an abstract being that speaks to us and through us.”
The band, which is currently in the middle of recording their first LP, “The Science of Falling,” (available November 2011) got its early beginnings when brothers Andrew and Joe Bloomquest got early encouragement from their father, who bought Joe his first guitar in fourth grade.
