LINEUP BANDS

As we enter 2026, we see the newest version of Symetria rolling forward as the Juggernaut they have shown themselves to be, with a fresh face behind the drums in Matt Houseman. He joins Vince, Mike, Bryan, and Kevin without the band missing a beat and brings a thunderous presence to the kit and stage like a well-seasoned pro. The band goes into the studio with multiple-time Grammy award winner Daniel Malsch in March of 2026 to record another 3-song EP for their record label, Curtain Call Records, which is scheduled to start getting airplay in May of 2026, with a release date to be announced for the summer. The band has already booked a couple of festival appearances for the summer of 2026 to support the release and is heavily involved on the local level with other extremely talented bands and musicians, rebuilding a local original music scene in this “post-apocalyptic” COVID world we are living in. Beyond the horizon, the project keeps writing and performing new material alongside what’s been released and what's scheduled to be recorded, with the vision to both grow a thriving local scene and continue to branch out regionally and semi-nationally. There have been early discussions about reaching the West Coast in 2027. Coupled with the consistent flow of new music, it’s obvious Symetria is here to stay and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s rather the opposite. With 2026 being the 10th year of Symetria’s existence, the band has proven that even COVID couldn’t break the vision of Symetria.
