The Material is a Los Angeles-based rock band.
Led by vocalist, Colleen D'Agostino, The Material launched into the independent rock music scene in 2007 with a performance on MTV2's Dew Circuit Breakout.
For nearly 7 years, The Material toured the country, playing everywhere from parking lots to mid-sized venues to major festivals such as SXSW, Summerfest, and Warped Tour. They also self-released 4 EPs and 2 LPs, and Anchor Eighty Four Records released "Everything I Want to Say" on vinyl. The Material went on hiatus in 2013 following a tour with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
During that time, Colleen worked on her solo career and broke into the EDM music scene. In 2015, she earned a platinum record for her collaboration with producer deadmau5.
The Material's EP "Gray States" was released in 2018 and the band is set for a string of reunion shows in 2023.
