La Dispute is a progressive type rock band from Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is a band comprised of 5 guys from the midwest with an intense passion for using music and art to make life long friends. They strive to make music that is technical, artistic, and emotional in hopes of actually connecting with any interested in listening to them. They try and write music that shows people about themselves and life, they sing about things that truly matter and make lasting impressions.
The band consists of lead vocalist Jordan Dreyer, drummer Brad Vander Lugt, guitarists Chad Sterenberg and Kevin Whittemore and bass guitarist Adam Vass. They are labeled under No Sleep Records. The band formed together in 2004. As of right now, they have released two full-length albums and 7 EPs. There music is primarily post-hardcore with some screamo and melodic hardcore thrown into the mix. They also are noted for spoken word and blues influences. Well recognized elements of La Dispute's music are incorporating spoken word style passages into really intense songs, the use of highly complex lyrics, and Jordan Dreyer's inability to control his voice; (swapping between singing and screaming unpredictably).
