Hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, Authentic Pines is a hard hitting 5 piece consisting of vocalist Joel Smith, guitarists Nathan Markiewicz and Charlie Verdico, bassist DJ Ketter and drummer Vince Savarino. The band infuses sounds from artists such as the Foo Fighters, Sorority Noise, Balance and Composure, among many more, to find their own niche; a sound that will be familiar to those versed in hard rock at all, but with distinctive twists that make it uniquely “theirs.”
