| Standing out in the crowd, we are the ones next to you that were never seen. We remained the reserve, those who choose to lack in vocal contribution to the majority, but never miss a single beat of the world and its cold effect, building candid emotion. Our silent, expressive nature never realized, but christened our outside message even more. Our words spoken, few and far between, were never heard, drifting away like a thin smoke captured by the wind.
Now, on this stage, we release this energy, with built pressure from years of listening... years of watching... years of transcribing feelings into screaming syllables of rage. Now, its time for you to listen to how this God given life is anything but perfect - yet, is at the same time.
You have to hear us.
You want to hear us.
You will hear us.
We are Withheld.

For those that thirst for musical expression, the need for it stands out above all things. These were the feelings of Chris Shumate and Noah Labhart as they followed their separate paths toward the same goal. Chris started playing bass guitar at age , and Noah started playing guitar at age . Both self taught, the musicians thrived on expression and writing music from the soul, rather than conforming to societal standard. Once the two met, they began experimenting with several projects, trying to fill the musical void that was for so long. Influenced by the sounds of Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin and Atreyu, the two began formulating ideas to create the perfect sound. But who would be the front man? Or would it be a man? Shelby Standley, long time friend of Noah’s, had been singing since she was years old. The unmistakable consistency of her voice led Chris and Noah to consider a female vocalist. Once Shelby joined the band, her enthusiasm and hidden desire for self expression became an asset to the bands musical composition. Here, the band began exploring other influences, such as Flyleaf, Evanescence and Lacuna Coil. But the group felt that the music was still missing pieces. So they moved forward, and started considering rhythm guitar players. Jeremy Caywood had previously played bass in a band with Noah, and had taught himself to play guitar and drums. His steady, driving riffs removed this responsibility from Noah, allowing him to focus on lead guitar. After many nights of late dinners and rigorous sessions, each member agreed that it was crucial to find a drummer. The band allowed a few people to try and mesh with the groups sound and dedication. However, none of them fit the bill. Steven Summers had not only played drums in several bands, but was a childhood friend of Chris. Coming from a metal background, Steven provided the band with thrashing beats and momentum needed to reach their goal. At the conclusion of the bands second practice with Steven, they had already recorded a track live demo. With this type of progress and questions from inquiring fans, the group figured it was time to choose a band name. Long discussions led to the group’s decision to go with Noah’s suggestion of the name “Withheld”. Each band member can recall time periods in their life where they have stood by and watched, observing their world evolve around them without contributing an opinion.
But they are withheld no more… |

| RotA is an original, four-piece rock/metal band out of the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas market. This group uses its driving rhythms, slamming drums, grooving bass lines, and in-your-face vocals with a powerful message to create, and shape, their unique soundscape of music. The band is comprised of local scene veterans who’ve played in the area, regionally, toured elsewhere in the U.S. and even played overseas in Europe.
The band has just completed the mixing/mastering process on their “LIVE” CD recorded at Texas Motor Speedway. The project was recorded/engineered/mixed/mastere by local veteran engineer Bill Johnson the Audio Director at KCM in Ft. Worth, TX. The new live CD should be made available early in .
RotA is currently writing songs for their untitled fourth studio release due out in early . The new full-length CD will contain some of the bands most collaborative work to date. This record will be a bit of departure from their previous works, but the band's trademark sound will still be easily recognizable. They are also booking shows for a tour in support of the new CD.
The group wants to reach a broader audience. So they are redefining themselves musically and lyrically. So the latest CD will reflect those desires. The band also plans to play on some stages that as a group they’ve never played before.
RotA is a musically diverse group. You can hear the band's heavier influences in their music, be it Pantera, Audioslave, King's X, Alice In Chains, Fates Warning, System of a Down, Metallica, Incubus and many more on just about every song. Though the aforementioned groups may not allude to it, the band also has a more melodic and softer side as well. You can hear those other influences such as Queen, Weezer, Dream Theatre and even Def Leppard in other songs.
What really sets the band apart from all the other local/regional bands is their professionalism and their presentation. The songs are great too. This is a band of seasoned veterans who know how to play to a crowd, large or small. There's no venue to large or small for the band or their massive sound. |
