Cycles

Cycles epitomize the power-trio format with ripping guitar, fat bass

grooves played out through furious slapping, and viciously dynamic drum beats

flowing over intricate tempo changes. Each member wields a unique take on

their instrument that when played together, forms a truly fresh and cohesive

sound. Patrick Harvey commands the guitar with speed and precision

reminiscent of Jimmy Herring while using his loop pedal virtually as its own

instrument, a skill unique only to him. At the heart of the band lies Tucker

McClung’s dominant slap-bass chops that captivates audiences and pumps the

musical blood through the band. The recent addition of drummer, Luke Stone

has brought new fire and life into the band. With swift chops, fierce fills and

decisive tempo, Luke has only further intensified the already explosive sound

that is Cycles.

The current incarnation of the ever-developing sound of Cycles reveals

itself today as a speeding freight train of sound and rhythm. Screaming peaks

and balanced grooves find their way out of the chaos of a jam while samples

ripped from the likes of Madonna, Lil Nas X and many more ring out and grab

the unsuspecting audience by surprise, adding to the multicolored blend of

sound filling a room and often standing out as comedic elements of the show.

Drawing influence from artists such as Rage Against the Machine, J. Dilla,

Primus, Weather Report, and many more, Cycles fuse an eclectic blend of

genres to produce an original sound that has become harder and harder to

find. Although only a few years old, Cycles have over 350 shows under their

belt with tours extending across the entire U.S. A heavy touring schedule keeps

them on their toes while providing the inspiration to continue to write and

always strive to play better. Look out for their name soon on a festival schedule

in your hands or a club marquee playing with your favorite bands.
