| Introduction | In a town where there are as many descriptions for the rain as there are days in a year, five people formed together. Out of luck, out of happenstance, Leaving the Scene was formed. Those five people, each into their own right a talent and force, created Leaving the Scene. Rayn McMahon, the voice, the words. Jamie Dunphy and Jason Morris, the sonically attacking six-string wielding duo. Joaquin Toler, the powerhouse rhythm. And Dave Muldoon, the glue that holds the fabric. Female fronted bands are rare. This is mostly a boys game, and no one expects it will change. But Leaving the Scene has taken this, taken these assumptions, and used them to hone their craft. Molded every aspect of their being to prove to the world that this will be a boys game no more. They’ve crafted incredible song writing, poignant and sharp lyrics, and a tight, high energy, live performance. Their newest album, In Terms Of Resistance, is a behemoth sonic attack, with 11 tracks of highly toned, highly explosive songs. Released in 2006 on LIFO Records, the album has opened new doors, turned the attention of new ears, and changed the expectations of what this boys game can produce. |
