Invoke (Active: 2018 - Present)

Invoke is a hardcore band hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina, formed in 2018. They are known for their powerful and aggressive style, blending elements of metallic hardcore with traditional hardcore punk energy. Their sound is characterized by pummeling breakdowns, gritty riffs, and vocals that channel raw emotion and anger, often touching on themes of societal and personal struggles. In just a few years, Invoke has built a dedicated following in the hardcore scene, particularly in the Southeast, where their intense live performances have become legendary.

Invoke's sound combines the brutality of metallic hardcore with the immediacy of punk, creating a style that resonates with fans of both genres. Their riff-driven songs carry an undercurrent of heaviness, comparable to metalcore influences, but always retain the raw simplicity and passion of hardcore punk. Their music often features slow, crushing breakdowns and fast, circle-pit-inducing parts, making their songs perfect for live shows where crowd engagement and energy are paramount.

Invoke has positioned itself as a band with something to say, using their platform to raise awareness about issues that matter to both the band and their community. Whether through their music or their actions, they aim to keep hardcore's rebellious spirit alive, while also providing a voice to those who feel marginalized or voiceless.
