The Paramedic

Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, the metalcore outfit the Paramedic first gained notice through their explosive cover of Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot." The group came together in 2010 with singer Mike Luciano, guitarists Jake Nolan and Sean Salasny, bassist Brandon Wallace, and drummer Chris Bluser, later aligning with New Jersey's Bullet Tooth label in 2012 to issue their debut album Smoke & Mirrors that same year. Following early tours alongside Dance Gavin Dance and the Bunny the Bear, they resurfaced in 2014 with the punishing follow-up Diary of My Demons.
