Delta Rage is an explosive original rock band formed in Dallas in 2003. The brainchild of Ryan Cassidy, Delta Rage represents the ultimate combination of great groove oriented rock and improvisation. They have quickly become one of the most talked about bands in North Texas. With their distinctive original sound combining elements of modern rock, classic rock, blues, jazz, and funk, Delta Rage proves with every single performance that it is destined to be a leading force in the world of rock music today and for many years to come.
Listening to their self-titled demo, you are treated to the sonic feast that fans experience when at a Delta Rage show. Of course, the point of a live performance is to entertain as well as perform, and Delta Rage does not disappoint those who are there to see a show! Their captivating live performance is definitely a must see, from the playful interaction between the bandmates to witnessing the pure passion these musicians exude for their music. From blistering riffs that blow your mind, and soulful lows that alternately soothe and energize, to thundering rhythms that will keep you moving all night, Delta Rage promises to leave a lasting impression.
Delta Rage also stands out from the pack in that they possess incredible improvisational skills; an element rarely seen in today’s modern music. From one performance to the next, this keeps their songs sounding fresh and keeps audiences coming back for more, time and time again. Improv is reminiscent of the blues rock stylings of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, but the songs themselves may be compared to more modern bands like Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Aerosmith, etc...
These elements coming together live on stage is what creates the distinct sound of Delta Rage. We think you’ll agree the music of Delta Rage provides a much needed breath of fresh air for the local music scene today.
