Aldente

What began as two college freshmen making SoundCloud rap in a dorm room eventually grew into Athens’ most popular rap band, Aldente. At its core, Aldente started due to Reid Koski (producer, guitar, bass) and Hunter Peatman’s (vocals) simultaneous love and frustration with rap music. While they loved and grew up on artists such as Soulja Boy, Future and Young Thug, they were disappointed with the sound and energy of local rap shows. They noticed that house parties with alternative bands always had more energetic crowds than shows with rappers, but the rappers always had better music. Seeking to bridge the divide, and create wholly unique music in the process, they got together with Reid’s dorm neighbor Dhruva Jandhyala (vocals, bass, guitar) and began searching for a drummer who could bring the energy they wanted at their live shows. After a drunken jam session with Reid’s current neighbor Henry Smith (keys) and his friend Allen McDonald (drums), the five of them finally had a band.

Aldente is inspired by a wide range of genres and artists. While the first album, King Da Ka drew on artists such as Lil Jon, Led Zeppelin, and Reid and Hunter’s old SoundCloud music, their upcoming album draws upon more from Pharrell, The Beastie Boys, and Soulja Boy. When producing the music, Reid is committed to a very DIY approach, despite working at Chase Park Transduction Studios; every song is recorded and mixed in his bedroom.
