Incandesca

Named for the word incandescent, meaning “full of strong emotion; passionate” as well as being the Portuguese word for “glows”. 

Location: Old Town, Maine

FFO: Haste The Day, Trivium, Lamb Of God

Short Bio:

In 2012 After the folding of their former bands, song-writer Chris Lyons and vocalist Billy Lever (who are both obsessive Doctor Who nerds) laid the foundation for what would grow into Incandesca. They demoed the same songs over and over again, until finally releasing their self-produced full length album Home Is Where The Heart Rots in 2020. 

From studio project to full band. With bassist Latoya Marshall and drummer Christian Leathers in the mix and having released a self-titled EP. The boys finally have their shit together… Probably. Incandesca is a band that’s all about having fun, and not meant to be taken seriously. At least not personally. The music is fine.

Home Is Where The Heart Rots (2020)

Self-Titled EP (2022)
