Charleston, SC’s Metallic Hardcore band Circle Back brings an aggressive edge to the city voted best in the United States by Travel and Leisure magazine year after year.

Formed in 2013, Circle Back was initially a studio project between John Marino and Daniel Pelletier (Not Beneath). Impressed with the songwriting and potential, Marino decided to make Circle Back a complete band and start playing live.

While recruiting members Circle Back released the “Promise to Pay” album in October 2014. This introductory release lead to a fury of songwriting and the group quickly released the “Devour the Negative” EP in August 2015.

As a full live band Circle Back supported both releases with shows primarily in the south eastern United States. Circle Back has shared the stage with legendary hardcore acts such as Terror and Madball during that time.

In 2017, Circle Back released a four song “S/T” EP and continued to play as many shows as possible.
