TRAGIK is the brand new rock band consisting of Phil Vincent, Damian D'Ercole & Dirk Phillips. Their first release is titled "Poetic Justice". Phil Vincent has released 9 solo albums of melodic hard rock since 1997 playing all the instruments and singing all the vocals. In TRAGIK he still contributes all lead vocals, Keyboards and the occasional rhythm guitar part but the majority of the axe work is handled by 22 year old new comer Damian D'Ercole. Damian has been a local session guitarist for the past 3 years honing his shredding and songwriting skills. His approach is aggressive and calculated bordering on mayhem. Damian also handles the bass duties, laying a solid backline to the intricate arrangements. Session pro Dirk Phillips has appeared in the past on Phil Vincent's "Circular Logic" and "Tragic" Cds. His heavy, steady drumming is the backbone of TRAGIK's sound. Dirk & Phil grew up together in the small town of Cranston, RI and shared the deep love of rock music while performing in various bands together. Their passion for Boston, Deep Purple, Dokken & the Beatles is heard throughout "Poetic Justice". Also appearing on the CD lending their six string solo prowess are session guitarists Billy Roux from WHAT MATTERS, David Zychek from AIRBORNE & NIGHTRANGER and local guitar hero Paul Colombo.
