Intro

Otherwise is a Las Vegas-based hard rock outfit that achieved a historic milestone as the first unsigned artist to reach #1 on SiriusXM Octane with their anthem 'Soldiers.' This success led to a significant career under Century Media and later Mascot Records.

Their sound identity is a quintessential blend of 2010s-era active rock, characterized by high-production values, post-grunge grit, and alternative metal song structures. Led by brothers Adrian and Ryan Patrick, the band's narrative is deeply rooted in themes of resilience and the 'blue-collar' rock ethic. Critically, they are recognized for their ability to bridge the gap between the aggressive textures of metal and the melodic accessibility of mainstream rock. Their evolution has seen them move from the raw energy of their self-titled debut toward a more refined, hook-heavy approach on albums like 'Defy' and 'Gawdzillionaire.' They occupy a cultural space alongside peers like Pop Evil and Adelitas Way, serving as a staple of modern rock radio and the American festival circuit.
