SOUND Inspired by old-school power violence and death metal, Brooklyn’s The Year Is One deal in bass-heavy grindcore. Eschewing tradition, and guitar, the band still covers wide sonic range on its debut thanks to the shredding work of six-string bassist Jamie Behar (Saetia, Off Minor). TYIO is rounded out by four-string bassist Geoff Garlock (Orchid, Panthers), drummer Daniel Jaryniewich and Guitar World's own photo director Jimmy Hubbard on vocals.
