HRR: There isn't a ton of information out there about you guys. Tell us about yourself and the band. How long have you been a band? How did you get your start? etc.Patrick McBride: HourCast got it's start in 2001 with Jerry Clews (drummer) and Dave Henriquez (Guitar Player). They wanted to combine elements of rock and electronic music. Then they found me, Patrick McBride (vocalist) as a lead singer. Later, we added Dave Sullivan (Bass Player) when we decided to take the band out live. We started on a street level in Boston, playing shows.
We went to every rock concert in the city with backpacks on and GAVE AWAY our music for free... In a matter of months we found ourselves on tour with Sevendust, then Godsmack. Godsmack really gave us a huge break bringing us a brand new, Boston band on the road. Since then we've been out with 30 Seconds to Mars, Breaking Benjamin, Volbeat, The Damned Things and now Black Label Society with All That Remains.
