Act of faith: Allen Wright quit playing in bands to help other acts break through.
Attending school in the aptly named German town of Rammstein was probably an early portent of where Allen Wright’s career was heading. The vocalist ping-ponged between his native California and Germany in the 90s, joining metal crossover bands Headcrash and then End Of April.
“I called it quits on playing after meeting many bands on the road who didn’t have bookers or management,” Wright says. “I started growing my network, taking on a couple of bands who ended up being connected to Roadrunner Records.”
