Read this if you’re awesome:

From Long Island NY, YOC writes music that floats somewhere between Metal, Hardcore, & Rock. Their songs depict trying times they have each endured and can evoke feelings of nervousness, anger, and desperation. On the flip side, hope & inspiration are paramount in the overall message that they try to convey.

YOC was started by guitarist Dan Buckley, bassist Joseph Micolo, vocalist John Alaia, & later joined by drummer Brian Calhoun. The band released their demo, unofficially known as the “Lightbulb Demo”, in 2004. The self-produced & recorded “Cycles Of Man” EP (‘05), single "We Will Overcome" (‘06), and “A Blood Decree” (EP) 07’ were all released before the band’s eventual hiatus. After returning in 2022, Vocalist Jon Buckley (brother of guitarist Dan Buckley) has joined the lineup making them now a five piece band. A new album is currently being recorded. Singles from this album are due out in 2025, the first of which “Unbound” was released in January. The song is about letting go of the past & moving forward to face the unknown future head on.

YEAR OF CONFESSION has shared the stage with a ton of bands in their home scene, as well as Unearth , All That Remains, The Acacia Strain , It Dies Today , Trivium , Shai Hulud, Dope, Full Blown Chaos , Sworn Enemy, Car Bomb, Cattle Decapitation, & many more.
