Backstory:
Misguided Title began their journey as a band in the bustling city of New York, where four high school misfits found their common passion for music. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Travis McArthur, lead guitarist, Dylan “Rex” Johnson, bassist, Leonard “Leo” Kramer, and drummer, Ethan “Eddie” Douglas, all met in the school’s music room and connected over their shared musical influences. As they grew up together and honed their talents, they realized that their bond was more than just friendship – it was a journey into creating music that would redefine the boundaries of their genre.
Initially, they played in school festivals and local gigs, garnering a small but loyal fan base. Their breakthrough moment came when a social media video of their performance at a local bar went viral. The rest, as they say, is history. Misguided Title, a band name that they chose to reflect their journey and constant evolution, has been making waves in the music industry with their unique sound, sweeping melodies, and raw lyrical honesty.
