The Band Who Killed
The epic story of LA’s Harriers of Discord.
When I first listened to …And They Did Live, I couldn’t believe that I never heard it before. My disbelief stemmed from this: it was really, really good.
Aimee Oliver, Marcus Trujillo, and Duane Hall first got together in 2018 to be today’s Harriers of Discord. The band in itself has been making content, originally from Aimee, since 2014.
The story of the band is, to put it best, spontaneously adventurous. First Aimee wanted to get back to playing music after a four year hiatus — so she bought an in-home studio that she hadn’t used for months. Then one day she decided to start making tracks. And at some point while doing that, she’d have Duane and Marcus join her for the ride.
Like every great artist, the tremendous trio that is Harriers of Discord creates music because it makes them feel good. There isn’t a more important objective for them. And they’re not the only ones who feel good while playing: they’ve performed live around the country and have developed some fame over the Internet.
This is the story of friends who crisscross between California and North Carolina to make world-class music for their fans.
