Modesto/Fresno ,CA USA

A Hardcore/Metal band hailing from the Central Valley of California. Started out in 2009 with ex-members of "Ares" and "Liferuiner". They played their first show opening up for The Ghost Inside, and every since that first show they knew they were on to something good. Although they started out as a five piece with Aaron Sy, Christian Valenzuela, Jared Sims, Derek Rankin, and Mikel Arredondo. They had there typical beginning member changes and soon got the solid line up there at now with new Bass player Nick Mendoza(Chob) and adding another Guitar member Mikels little brother Tommy Arredondo.They all write their music about their personal experiences, whether people can relate or not they are a songs from the hearts of each member in the band. With the line up as solid as its ever gonna be, Recognize will take over, play shows and tour as much as possible. With the fan base they have grown in the years which still surprises them everyday, they see it as they are just beginning still and its only just started. Recognize will never die, they are here to stay.
