Synderes
Synderes is a teen rock band based in Orlando, Florida. Four of the five band members belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The teenagers became friends in 2011 and created Synderes in June 2012. Amanda Hernandez is lead vocalist, her brother Anthony Hernandez is lead guitarist, Alec Lowe is drummer, Pierson Lowe is bassist, and Jasper Chong plays rhythm guitar. The band draws its musical influence from bands like Muse, Imagine Dragons, Evanescence, and Flyleaf.
In three short years, the band has moved from performing at small, local functions to bigger events, such as music festivals in Mexico, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico. The band is finalizing details on a 60-city world tour. It released a music video for its single “Enemy Inside” and is working on its first full album.
While the band members are devoted to their music, they keep their priorities straight by going to school and attending church and other youth church meetings. Amanda Hernandez says that they “hope to touch people’s hearts with our music and to help them grow to become stronger and lead better lives.” She also says “good morals bring good, inspirational music.”[1] As of March 2014, three of the band members are preparing to serve full-time missions for the LDS Church.
