ABOUT

Detained is a South Jersey-based metal band that was formed in 2018 by lead singer and guitarist Kevin Frank. After some shake-ups in the lineup, Kevin and lead guitarist Dean Meehan headed into the studio to record their first EP "Downfall" in 2020.

With production handled by Tom Conran (Slo TV) and Casey Cavaliere (The Wonder Years).  

 

Since then, Detained has transformed into a dynamic four-piece band, crafting a sound that combines the complex riffs and intensity of modern metalcore, with the emotional bloodletting of emo.  Currently, they are fully immersed in the creative process of recording their six-song EP, which is expected to be completed by the summer of 2025. 

 

As musicians, Detained is driven by a powerful mission: to shed light on mental health and the often-overlooked struggles that come with it. Through their newest material, they aim to delve into the darker aspects of the human experience, providing a platform for listeners to connect with their own emotional battles. Detained hopes to show individuals navigating mental health challenges that they are not alone.
