In July of that year, the band signed with Artery Recordings, a label distributed by Razor & Tie. In early 2013, Albarado and the group parted ways, with Aaron Robertson taking over on percussion. The band decided to change the pronunciation of the first word to " / ˈ m aɪ k ə/", but decided to spell the word as "Myka". The band was named after a phrase used in video game Call of Duty, in which a voice shouts "Sniper, Relocate". The band announced new vocalist Scott Badon and rhythm guitarist Josh Peltier and released one song titled "Take it Easy Mountain Face" to their MySpace page in 2010, but shortly after the band was without a vocalist again.Īfter finding a loyal following in Lafayette, the band changed their base of operations to Houston, Texas (to draw a larger following) in 2010, adding vocalists John Ritter and Michael Swank and adopted a metalcore sound. In late 2009 vocalist Garett Hawkins posted a bulletin on MySpace announcing his departure from the band. On J the band self-released an EP called. The band operated as a four piece consisting of Hawkins (vocals), Doré (guitars), Burleigh (bass), and Albarado (drums) for the next eighteen months after Guidry's departure. Shortly after the release of Self Portrait, Tori Guidry left the band. Īt this time the band's genre was post-hardcore. The band self-released an album in the summer of 2008 called Self Portrait as a Frozen Father.

In 2013, Sam Albarado left Myka, Relocate, and Aaron Robertson became the band's new drummer that same year, the band signed a record deal with Artery Recordings, distributed by the well-established indie label Razor & Tie, and went into the studio with producer Cameron Mizell behind the controls. As the alternating vocals gave Myka, Relocate a singular sound and guitarist Dore began adding electronics to the group's aural palette, their following grew, aided by extensive touring. The bandmembers began making a name for themselves in their hometown and found a loyal audience in Lafayette, Louisiana, but their fortunes took a major turn for the better in 2010 when they relocated to Houston, Texas and added dueling vocalists Michael Swank (clean vocals) and John Ritter (screaming). Myka, Relocate were formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 2007 by guitarists Austin Dore and Josh Peltier, bassist Luke Burleigh, and drummer Sam Albarado. Houston-based metalcore band Myka, Relocate have forged a unique sound, trading off sweet, pop-flavored singing with a harsh, braying vocal bark, adding electronic accents to the assault of guitars and drums, and introducing a more melodic sound than most of their peers without stripping their songs of their power.
