CloZure was originally formed in 2012 by lead guitarist Michael Cordle, aiming to rid southeast Alabama of its lack of original hard rock bands. After years of lending itself to the local scene, in 2019 drummer Michael McCann and rhythm guitarist Matthew Russell were added, and the project really began to aim higher.
In 2024, CloZure underwent more lineup changes, and with new vocalist Nikollaj Lleshi and bassist Zack Taylor, they released a cover of Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life.” They were then swept up in a whirlwind of touring, sharing the stage with such acts as Tantric, Saliva, and Powerman 5000. This aided in the amassing of followers, views, streams, etc.
CloZure currently consists of Michael, Matthew, Zack, Nikollaj, and drummer Brad Hardin. Their latest single, “Framed,” was released in March, and the band has been touring almost nonstop this summer.
