The Chicago-based trio Alert312 is made up of three veteran musicians who have channeled their eclectic roots and faith to craft genuine sonic and visual art for two decades. Their music expresses the mash-up of culture that continues to influence their sound. Authentic live performance is the trio's muse. Aaron Lopez's hip hop/percussion-anchored production drives their energy. Honest journalism about society and genuine faith in Christ is EB's (Esteban Shedd) vital lens, equally delivered both as a street poet and a songwriter. Aaron Lopez & Loren La Luz bombastic energy as a percussive duo is evident and present both on stage and on record. And live analog recordings color their sound and extensive discography. All of these ingredients create the singular Alert312 sound– unashamedly golden era (their school), world/Latino (their roots & experiences), and beautifully tough (their city). History has always shown that great craft takes time to mature, and Alert312 continues to display just that.
