Dualesc was a rock band from Portland, Oregon, consisting of four members, active between 1998 and 2006.
Biography
The group was established in 1998 by vocalist Matt McMillan, guitarist Bryon Deisher, and bassist Adam Hubka. In 1999, drummer Tim Steiner was replaced by Marshall Tipton. After experimenting with several names, the band ultimately chose Dualesc, a name derived from the concept of Cartesian Dualism. Their debut album, Oscillations (2000), attracted the attention of Richard Patrick from Filter, who invited them to record at Abyssinian Sons Studios in Chicago. The 2001 EP, produced by Patrick and Rae Dileo, included Patrick playing guitar on the track "Belief."
In early 2002, Dualesc signed a deal with Rise Records. They remixed and remastered the EP produced by Patrick, supplementing it with six additional songs to create the album Through the Floods, Not With Them.
The band self-released Palisade Layer in 2003, which featured six new compositions along with a re-recorded song from Oscillations titled "I Don't Even Know You," featuring guest vocals by Chris Ruff of Kaddisfly.
After bassist Adam Hubka departed in 2004, Rob Hillis took over bass duties. This lineup recorded their final album, Lhasa the Birdcatcher, which never saw an official release but is fully accessible for streaming on their official site.
Between 2004 and 2005, Dualesc performed intermittently in Portland before entering a hiatus around 2006.
