Room To Breathe With JORDAN DREYER From LA DISPUTE

Quiet and unassuming, Grand Rapids, Michigan post-hardcore outfit
LA Dispute are a volcanic force of musical nature, shunning
expectations in favour of experimentation and personal
growth.
Over four full length albums, the band have pushed themselves in
whatever direction their music has led them, incorporating new
soundscapes, tones and structures into a genre of music that is
supposed to be more regimented. The fact LA Dispute have an
ever-growing fan base that has supported their every musical whim
speaks volumes for individuality and expression, in a time where it
is often easier and less confronting to toe the company line in
terms of musical output.
This year, the band celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the
groundbreaking album Rooms Of The House in the best way they know
how - by taking it to the masses. Well, masses in terms of
geographical spread, but more articulated when it comes to actual
location.
Rather than embark on another exhausting full run of shows, LA
Dispute have elected to play just five shows in various countries
around the world that represent and having meaning for the band.
Dubbed the 2024 Five Nights Only Tour, it has already passed
through London, Amsterdam and Berlin, with only Grand Rapids
(September 28) and Australia (November 22) to conquer.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Jordan Dreyer to talk more.
We engaged in a lively discussion about the band's recent
performances in London, Amsterdam, and Berlin, as well as their
upcoming show in Australia. Jordan shared his enthusiasm for
connecting with audiences and reflected on the therapeutic nature
of performing songs from the Rooms of the House album, which have
evolved in meaning through personal experiences. He also
highlighted the intentional flow of their records, making it easier
to perform the entire album live. The conversation shifted to their
decision to record their next album in Sydney, influenced by their
bandmate's connections and a desire for experimentation in a new
environment.
Jordan spoke about the band's intention to remain in Sydney to work
on their next album and noted it may adopt a darker tone,
reflecting global tensions, while incorporating elements from
previous works.
