Ardor band name came from Brian Gerbetz opening a dictionary and finger landing. Whether it was luck of the finger or thank goodness for Webster dictionary, the definition of Ardor is very fitting for the band as they are extremely vigorous and energetic in their performance. The band home town is Columbia Ohio founded by Brian Gerbetz. This band must have born talent as the band has only been playing the last year and half.
Ardor band consist of Bryan Gerbetz (guitar), Brand Caulley (percussion), Jared Liette (lead guitar), Corey Catlett (bass) and beautiful Christine Varian (vocals). The vocals go from one extreme to the other with beautiful harmony to harsh death metal all coming from one lady Christine. Their power lyrics about anger and hardship is something everyone can relate too. Their song "Threat", starting off with "1..2...3..Kill ", is the emotional punch you feel when angry. Threat happens to be a favorite with one of their biggest fans, a band members mom. The musician's talents are displayed on stage and in their recordings.
Shenanigans definitely goes on with Ardor as they enjoy conspiring and the prank jokes that go on during the tour. Their tour is about having fun and from the sounds of it, the tour is just that. I believe
they ran into one of Ozzy Osbourne fans as they described meeting a guy that bit the head off a live frog. They have crazy, obsessive fans that have tattoo Ardor artwork and had Christine had to sign the unmentionables on other women. There has to be a strong jealousy that goes on within the group with Christine getting the honor of signing boobs and well you can figure it out. Ardor is greatly honor by the fans that went to the extreme with Ardor artwork tattoos.
Fan Question " The hardest thing about being in a band on tour?"
The smell…The b.o. and the bathroom. Being in a band is a lot of work from promoting to playing shows.
Ardor is the first band that I came across that has a video produced song at this level. I would encourage you to stop by their website at www.ardorband.com and check out their video.
