Based in Greenville, North Carolina, Katharsis’s highly melodic and entertaining rock broke through the music scene in 2005. The band was originally formed in 2000 by Garret Bissonnette, who had moved to Greenville for education, and Patrick Spohr. Bissonnette and Spohr were later joined by drummer Cory Granger, and bassist Eric Pyburn. They began a non-stop gigging schedule on the local rock circuit.While appearing in the “Battle of The Bands” August 2005 Katharsis found front man Ean Hirst. Just after three months of writing, the band’s self-released single “Climb The World” hit the streets. The band’s popularity continues to grow, owing to support slots with several leading musicians. The band developed a reputation for being respectable with a very professional manner while producing a steady flow of new material.
