TRANSIT METHOD | EPK
Transit Method is a four-piece rock band from Austin, TX that blends dizzying prog-rock instrumentals with the raw intensity of grunge and heavy metal, garnering comparisons to Soundgarden, Rush, Voivod and Motörhead. The Austin Chronicle praised the band’s debut album We Won’t Get Out of Here Alive, for “[fusing] remarkable instrumental facility with alt-rock loud/soft dynamics, like a grunge band that got its colors mixed up.”
Transit Method released their sophomore album, The Madness, on Brutal Panda Records in July 2020. They have toured the United States several times, played major events such as Austin’s Formula 1, and shared the stage with the likes of the Sword and Consider the Source. Their third LP is in the works and tentatively set for release in the first half of 2023.
