Centershift

One could say Centershift has been a band in-the-making since the mid-’90s when vocalist/guitarist Jasan Radford started Onesidezero During the early-’00s rock radio craze, they played with System Of A Down, Static X, Incubus and a host of other bands that would make any post-grunge fan’s toes curl. Through touring, Radford met Centershift bassist Ted Wenri of Bemus fame when both their bands toured with Dredg. In 2022, the band solidified their standing as a nü-metal powerhouse with the addition of Shuvel guitarist Ryan Shane Stuber and drummer Stefan Storace. “Over the years, we got together, formulated songs and always knew we wanted to play together. Finally, through the stars aligning, we created Centershift,” says Radford. Though the band has a long history, this incarnation is brimming with new ideas. “We were going to call the band ONE, but felt that was too much [like] Onesidezero. It was time to write something fresh and new.” Inspired by the shared human experience, Centershift communicates life’s nuances through apexes of hearty, distorted guitar overlaid with intricate, mournful riffs and punctuated by biting, contemplative vocal-driven verses, co-written by the entire band. “When we step on stage, we to be playing that song because we all feel it internally.” Not only within the band, but as a whole, Centershift represents hope for emotional unity in a world divided.
