Bio: Alternative-Rock Trio, Illicit Response are a product of the greater Boston area affiliated with Blue Oak Records in Texas.
Illicit Response broke into the local live music scene in 2010 and been rocking audiences around the Greater Boston Area ever since.
Illicit Response captivates audiences with riff-heavy alternative rock with a post-grunge flavor and lo-fi indie-rock appeal.
Darian's dynamic, often haunting vocals and heavy rhythm guitar style are throwback to 90's grunge, but with a contemporary feel - perfectly complimented by Karla's smooth bass, and Christian's raw rhythmic talent on drums.
