The Ithomiid is a rare South American butterfly with transparent wings. It is also the name of an emerging Minnesotan punk metal band, consisting of brothers Eric and Kevin Peixoto and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Buschkowsky. Formed in April of 2012, Ithomiid has wasted no time since it's conception and has played numerous shows in the twin cities area and select shows in Wisconsin.
In August of 2012, only 4 months after forming, Ithomiid took first place in a battle of the bands competition in renowned St. Paul venue Station 4, defeating 10 other local bands. Having performed in a variety of different venues, Ithomiid always make a memorable impression with the amount of musicianship and songwriting ability they have for their age.
Their unique and creative sound has caught the attention of concert goers and record label owners. Self-described as "a cross between punk and metal", Ithomiid has a wide range that can appeal to many different audiences. From melodic fast paced punk rockers that are reminiscent of the early 90's, breakdowns and screaming that resemble today's metalcore scene, and to the occasional toned down acoustic moment, Ithomiid has experimented with their sound and discovered plenty of new ground in the short time they've existed.
Ithomiid's music has been played numerous times on XRP Radio, an online radio station in the UK. Ithomiid released their first music video on June 7th, 2013 and has spent the majority of 2013 recording their upcoming debut album, taking time with the process to perfect their first release. With their album expected to be released early 2014, and an exciting, energy filled live show, Ithomiid is bound to make a lasting impression on today's music scene and to make any rock fan headbang.
