Here is this month's Defunct Local Band Profile, our recurring series on local metal, hard rock, and/or punk bands from the past, always randomly selected from our inactive band links! For this month, we head back over a decade for a look at a promising band that sadly didn't get too far off the ground, so here's what you should know on them!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hometown: Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
Genre: Hard Rock/Alternative/Post-Grunge
Lineup: (Members not in their last full lineup are in italics)
Dalton James Boissineau (Meant To Last, These Sins Of Time), vocals/guitar
Josh Willet, guitar
Caleb Cachagee (Haggith), guitar/bass
Cayne Cachagee, drums
Danielle Wierzbicki, vocals
Mikey Cachagee (20 Pack Of Marshmallows), bass
Konar Zayet (Suffacation), bass
Jonny Amendola (Half Past, Skeyes Of Seven), drums
Audio/Video: Acention had cited Papa Roach, Evanescence, and Three Days Grace among the groups that they were covering as of their initial launch, and they shared a setlist in June 2012 on their Facebook page featuring covers of the likes of Nickelback, Buckcherry, and Theory of a Deadman, among other hard rock and post-grunge groups, while Dalton had teased posting an unplugged cover of The Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Strip My Mind" at one point. Original songs were also being composed during their active run, but they never played a public concert, and their only posted media is this Facebook video of Dalton & Josh working on an original song with acoustic guitars. It's obviously a very incomplete glimpse of what Acention were aiming for, but there is a promising guitar line here!
Info/Analysis: Forming in the fall of 2011 before making their public launch in April 2012, Acention were comprised primarily of teenage musicians at the time, and posted frequent updates that spring and summer as they worked on their sound and setlist. Postings drastically slowed down from that fall onward, and despite teasing a new original song and some new song lyrics in early 2013, the band would cease updates after a January 2014 post where Dalton cited personal matters and in-band drama for their recent inactivity. It's hard to know how Acention would have sounded as a full/live concern, but their modern rock radio-centric set would have had local fans, and be sure to follow Caleb & Jonny's more recent bands!

I hope you guys liked this month's Defunct Local Band Profile! In a coincidence that I absolutely did not plan (I use a random number generator to pick bands in this series), our June profile will be of former Acention bassist Mikey Cachagee's prior hard rock band 20 Pack Of Marshmallows! Look for that on or around June 10th, and for more news and notes on the site this week! Thanks everyone!
