“I want to be the voice that pulls someone back from the precipice, as so many bands have done for me over the years,”
“If the only thing we ever accomplish as a band is seeing one person choose to keep going and not end their life, then every sacrifice made along the way was worth it.”


Comprised of Josh Honea (lead vocals, guitar), Joseph Vargas (vocals, bass), and Stephen Cannon (vocals, drums), The Persuaded have released two independent EPs since their formation in 2010, before releasing the debut album “Dawn Of Destruction” on Joseph Rojas of Seventh Day Slumber’s “RockFest Records” a Division Of Nashville Label Group and Capitol Christian Music Group, with Physical distribution through New Day Christian Distributors and Sony Music.
