Cost of Attrition + Band in Indianapolis, IN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Fronted by lead vocalist Joshua (Wheeler) Castaneda, Cost of Attrition is a post-hardcore, pop, electronic hybrid based out of Indiana. Struggling with the likely self-imposed limitations and overall lack of interest with the metal core genre, multi-instrumentalist Joshua Grow decided to expand horizons into a more electronic, rhythmic pop style. Soon after some serious “sound seeking”, extensive genre experimentation, and too many software learning curves to count, Cost of Attrition was formed. The pop inspired musical duo is determined to create driven, upbeat melodic rhythms that manage to incorporate heavy rock elements without forgetting that a synthesizer here and there never hurt anyone. Since inception, they have written and released a self-titled album, produced by Craig Owens (Chiodos, D.R.U.G.S, Equal Vision/Sire Records) which effectively showcased their experimentation with synths and beats, but somewhat played it on the safe side by sticking closely to the pop/metal sound heard in their previous work. They are currently finishing their second studio album, slated for release late 2014, which is looking to delve much deeper into the electronic/hip-hop/dance world while still maintaining a solid emphasis on rock and pop. The level relating to the action of gradually reducing the strength or effectiveness of someone or something through sustained attack or pressure, ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to introduce you to Cost of Attrition.
