Okay, let's start by trying to figure out who "Traditions" is. The user provided a list of 10 song titles, so maybe these can help identify the artist.
First, I'll check if "Traditions" is a band or musician that's in my knowledge base up until July 2024. The songs listed are "Killjoy," "Loved Ones," "Day One," "F.P.," "Devil," "Predator / Prey," "Worthless Vultures," "Disturbed," "Barely Exist," and "Invade."
Wait, "Disturbed" is actually the name of a well-known rock band. That might be a red herring here. Maybe "Disturbed" is just a song title by Traditions, not the band itself. Let me double-check that. If "Disturbed" is a song by Traditions, then the band name is separate. But if Traditions is a song by Disturbed, that's a different story. But the user is asking about "Traditions," so I'll assume that's the artist's name.
Looking up Traditions, I need to confirm if they are a known artist. Let me think. I recall that there's a post-hardcore band called Traditions from the United States. They might be active in the 2010s. Let's see. Do they have songs like the ones listed? Checking their discography... Yes, they released an album titled "Years Past" in 2016, which includes tracks such as "Killjoy," "Loved Ones," "Day One," and "Barely Exist." Other songs like "Predator / Prey" and "Worthless Vultures" are also part of their work. They might have a split EP or other releases with those tracks.
Traditions is known for blending melodic elements with post-hardcore intensity. They were part of the DIY scene, often touring and collaborating with other bands in the genre. Their lyrics often touch on personal struggles and social issues. The band members include vocalist Ben Englund, guitarist Ryan DeRoche, bassist Matt Box, and drummer Andrew Clark. They were active around the mid-2010s.
Now, do I have enough verified information to write a bio without making anything up? Let's confirm details about their formation, location (Portland, Oregon?), and active years. If all these facts are correct, then proceed. If not, better to
