Double Bind (multiple personality crisis) was co-founded
in July 1998 by
Vocalist/guitarist Javier Laureano, 27, and drummer Lazaro
Diaz, 26. After several changes, the current line-up also
includes bassist Peter Norvaisas, 34. Originally from
Puerto Rico, the rock trio has now relocated in Tampa,
Florida. They have created their own original style of
music by combining each of the members' different tastes.
They like to refer to their music as "Boulder",
which combines 90's grunge with hardcore, funk, and a
pinch of punk.
The band's name fits the music perfectly by having strongly
noticeable mood swings. The majority of the lyrics reflects
and criticizes the harsh reality of life and its perils.
After seven years of headlining venues, the band has recorded
two three- song demos, and their first full length independent
release entitled "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Casebook".
They are currently promoting the album. with hopes of
a recording contract. The songs have received some airplay
in P.R. and some cities in the U. S. and also through
Internet radio. The band also has signed a publishing
deal with DSM Producers, a well- known publishing company
that has worked with many recording artists and have scored
many soundtracks in major motion pictures.
