Otherwise are a Las Vegas hard rock band fronted by singer Adrian Patrick, with Ryan Patrick on lead guitar. They started out on their own, releasing a self-titled album independently in 2006, and their song "Soldiers" went all the way to number one on Sirius XM Octane, and a deal with Century Media Records followed.
The Century Media run started with True Love Never Dies in 2012, and "Die for You" sets the tone: a thick, chugging anthem with a chorus that hits like a body slam and Patrick's big, gravel-edged bark riding on top. Corky Gainsford was behind the drums in those years. Peace at All Costs followed in 2014 with "Darker Side of the Moon", heavy and loud and aimed squarely at arenas.
They kept the engine running with Sleeping Lions in 2017 and Defy in 2019, the year Joe Conner took over on drums, then moved to Mascot Records for Gawdzillionaire in 2023.
