Texas hard rock/alternative metal quintet Submersed blend heavy volume with heavy issues that reflect their rugged individualism and ambition to be a "positive force for change." Formed in the late-'90s in the small town of Stephenville, the group consists of vocalist Donald Carpenter, lead guitarist/vocalist Eric Friedman, bassist Kelan Luker, guitarist TJ Davis, and drummer Garrett Whitlock. The band released In Due Time on Wind Up Records in September of 2004. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
