Featured Local: Terrace

Posted: February 3, 2014 | | Comments are off for this post.

Terrace is a progressive metal band based out of Centerville, VA. The band formed in the summer of 2013 with founding members Danny (vocals) and Ya Qwaynza (guitar). Adam (drums) and Mitchie (bass) jumped on board shortly after and Brian (guitar) was the last to join. Terrace’s goal is to progress as a band and build a better music scene that will lead to a stronger music community. Ya Qwaynza stated, “We are some dudes that just like proving people wrong and giving our absolute heart and soul in whatever we do together as a band.” There is a message, instrumentally, in Terrace’s songs. Ya Qwaynza noted, “When I write riffs, I use my past and feelings towards certain things. I came to a point in my life when I was tired of being upset and used that to write stuff and it helped.” Terrace has shared the stage with bands including Tesseract, Burdened Hearts, Encasing Embrace and Lying and Low. They plan to make music a career and branch out to other places to show others what they’re about. The band is taking a quick hiatus after their next two shows to finish their EP and potentially book a tour.
