Columbus-based prog rock band, DSTRESSR, is nothing short of a six-piece powerhouse. Composed of Jess Vonderau (vocals), Max Hentosh (guitar), Daryl Di’iorio (keys and synth), Daniel Greene (guitar), Nick Aleshin (drums) and Joe Macisco (bass guitar), DSTRESSR is a collaborative, ever-evolving project driven by the exploration and understanding of the human self, something that is simply in their nature. Pursuing an introspective angle in their music, the band not only wants to express the fact that they think and feel a lot, they also want their audience to do the same. Much like existence itself, their music contains a wide range of moments, from tranquility to defiance, addressing harsh realities without hesitation. DSTRESSR tackles the complexity of the human condition  by crafting equally  complex music, creating their own passionate sound by blending elements of psychedelic, progressive, alternative, electronic, punk and ambient genres into what they call ‘Reflective Rock’. With a compass guiding their artistic direction and the double-edged meaning of their name, DSTRESSR plays with the multiplicity of their senses and experiences, encouraging listeners to peel back layers of meaning and discover themselves through honest melodies and expressive storytelling.
