orce multiplication or Force Multiplied, refers to an attribute or a combination of attributes which makes a given force more effective than that same force would be without it. The members of the Cameron Park, California band, Force Multiplied is exactly that, a force multiplied as each member combines each of their unique talents to create a multiple force. After hearing about the internet based reality show, Rockality, I wasted no time in checking it out to see what the hype was all about. I must say I was impressed. Each episode offers a different insight to what musicians can or may go through in their daily lives on and off the stage. Most people that have not experienced life as a musician tend to think that bands just practice and play at local and out of town venues, but what most people don’t understand is musicians, like the members of Force Multiplied, need a business like mind to progress in their music career. These musicians wanted to bare it all so you, the fans, could see what it is really like to be in an independent band when they’re not backed financially by investors or labels. Sit tight as I take you deeper into the lives of Force Multiplied and Rockality. Force Multiplied was formed in 2011 by the way of Parker Mckee, who is currently the only original member in the band. Parker has a very unique talent that he adds as the front man to the band. Aside from his genius guitar riffs and his godlike abilities on the guitar, he has a wide range of vocal styles that I have never heard before. From one song to the next, he adds a different vocal style that not only captures your 12 Threat Con Nation Magazine

Aside from slapping the twinkie filling out yo mouth he is slapping the bass. Tim offers a thunderous energetic style to Force Multiplied. Just when you think basic bass riffs are coming, he delivers a monstrous shockwave to create a sound more astounding than Thor’s hammer. Steven Martin, the drummer for Force Multiplied, is a force you do not want to reckon with. Aside from his daily nunchuck exercise routine and harnessing his chi, this man is a beast on the drums. Steven has this way of summoning everyone in the room to bring the building down to its core foundation. He has this killer instinct in his eyes when beating those drums that warns you this is his time and if you dare step in his world you better be on your game. Force Multiplied brings 20 years of combined experiences to deliver a force even the gods themselves can’t control. In the first year, the band started gigging. They played 40+ shows, which would explain why they are now an opening act for nationals like Marilyn Manson, The Offspring, Black label Society, and many more. As these musicians bust their ass to make a name for themselves, it will not be too long before they become a household name. Aside from their recording studio business and touring, these motivated musicians have an internet based reality show called, Rockality. The show takes you behind the scenes and into the life of the band as they prepare for touring, practices, gigs and simply everything going on in their lives. There are currently
