Relate is a six-piece progressive post-hardcore band from Richmond, Virginia. Band members came together to create a unique sound that appeals to listeners from all walks of life. They named their band “Relate” in hopes that everyone who hears the music can find a way to relate it to their own life experiences, and know that there are others out there with similar struggles.

The band’s style has been described as a solid mix of heavy and clean music, lead by melodic vocals backed with catchy guitar riffs and dynamic drums. Their influences include Periphery, Circa Survive, Emarosa, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Copeland, and I See Stars.

“Syke’s message for getting tobacco out of Virginia’s music scene is an important one. It is a crucial step in eliminating smoking throughout society, stopping the corporate/government machine that is big tobacco, and lowering the rates of debilitating lung diseases everywhere.”
