The band was formed by members of "By Blood and Iron," a Birmingham local band, and the ex-guitarist of "Broadcast the Nightmare," Alan Rigdon. They entered the Studio in late 2009 for their self titled EP. With Guitarists Jesse Cash and Alan Rigdon constantly writing material, they entered the studio again in July of 2010 for their second release, "Andromeda". Andromeda was released in December of 2010.
Soon after the release of "Andromeda," the band was back at 456 Recordings with Brian Hood in Nashville, TN to record their debut album. On November 29th, 2011, Erra released their debut album "Impulse."
In 2012, the band parted ways with their bassist Adam Hicks, who left to finish college. Sean Price joined Erra as the new bassist as they began recording another studio album in 2013. Erra's sophomore album, "Augment" was released on October 29th, 2013.
In 2014, Alan Rigdon, one of the guitarists, and Garrison Lee, the unclean vocalist, both left the band under separate circumstances. Ian Eubanks, a friend of the band, filled the vocalist position; he had filled in for Garrison on tour in the past.
In late May of 2014, the band began teasing new material they had been writing. Just over 5 months later, on November 10th, 2014, Erra released a 5 song EP through Sumerian Records titled "Moments of Clarity." Shortly after the release of the EP, Erra began writing a new album to follow up their 2013 release "Augment."
In 2016 vocalist J.T Cavey (ex-Texas In July) joined the band to replace Ian Eubanks' position. Cavey and the band entered the studio and wrote and released their third studio album Drift. The album reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. The band toured on the Sumerian 10-year tour, along with Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, After the Burial and Bad Omens.

Erra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enter the unknown
Watch your step
It's an escape to the world anew
Flood yourself with colors and senses on overload
Sink inside yourself
Watch out for the bottom
Because there's no turning back once it takes control
The pain exits slowly
And there's nothing left but bliss
Floating out at sea, away from reality
It pulls me under, the tide will blow your mind
I'm drifting in and out of ocean dreams
It pulls me under, the tide will blow your mind
My pulse is sent into overdrive
Trying to calm my nerves with an unnatural catalyst
Agitator, wave maker, incendiary, excite my life
Floating out at sea, away from reality
It pulls me under, the tide will blow your mind
I'm drifting in and out of ocean dreams
It pulls me under, the tide will blow your mind
(Drifting in and out)
Drifting in and out of reality
(Drifting in and out of reality)
Drifting in and out of ocean dreams
(Drifting in and out of reality)
Let your mind drift
Erra's song Drift appears to speak about the experience of letting go and immersing oneself in a new reality. Taking a deep breath, one enters into the unknown, cautiously watching their step. The goal is to escape the old and familiar world and experience something new. The lyrics implore the listener to open themselves to new sensations, filling their minds with an overload of colors and senses. The feeling is likened to sinking into oneself, wherein nothing is left but pure bliss. However, there is a warning about the possibility of getting too deep and losing control, being unable to return to the old reality. The joy of the new creation seems to be laced with potential pain, but for the singer, the new reality is preferable. The song's chorus continues with oceanic imagery and mentions drifting in and out of ocean dreams, with the tide blowing one's mind. The lyrics suggest that the experience is so overwhelming that one's pulse goes into overdrive. There is an acknowledgment of the use of an unnatural catalyst to calm nerves, with fervent excitement being the goal.

I love the entire album, but it suprises me how much i like this one. It's just a "summer hit" in the metal universe. This album to me is the perfect summer album, like Deep Blue from PWD.
Justin Harris
My beach album is Homie by Chon

Honestly, Parkway is mostly a summer bad for me, August Burns Red is definitely my fall/winter band.
