Wings for Armor’s emotion fueled lyrics accompanied by intense, heartfelt
musical arrangements and crashing percussion characterize the sonic
experience that drummer Christy and singer/guitarist Murph strive to
create during their energetic live shows.

Whether its themes such as anger and depression or those of alienation and
transcendence, the subjects explored on Wings For Armor’s debut
self-released 14 track album, "Chasing And Being Chased" create what many
in their fan base have defined as ‘a soundtrack for real life’ due to the
way the stripped-down revelations encompassed in their brand of
experimental rock reveal the universals of the human experience.

From the start, Wings for Armor’s mission has been to fuse a connection
that draws audiences in by creating music that people can relate to. With
varied influences culled from the world of ‘alternative’ and 'pop' music
such as 30 Seconds To Mars, Tegan and Sara, Heart, Linkin Park, and Taylor
Swift, it’s no wonder that these audiences have been left wanting more.

“Growing up, we both really gravitated towards songs written from the
perspective of how the writer feels and we try hard to create that same
emotional connection with our audience. We don’t want our music to be
about consumerism, but strive to create a shared experience with the
crowd”.
