The Ongoing Concept came roaring onto the scene with their debut album Saloon in 2013. The lead song "Cover Girl" won over fans with a sound and message that drips of originality, complete with an extremely memorable music video. While most metal acts tend to follow the general trends of the scene, the rural Idaho based quartet is an unafraid to use unconventional instruments and arrangements. Speaking of unconventional instrumentation, The Ongoing Concept release their sophomore Solid State Records album Handmade on June 16th, 2015. The album was recorded entirely with instruments built by the band members themselves. Coming from a rural town in Idaho, Dawson, Kyle, Parker & TJ have been woodworking their entire lives and thought it would be a worthy goal to make their own instruments for their second album. Fans of Saloon will be excited to hear that The Ongoing Concept continues to cut their own path of originality with Handmade.
