Dualesc is a four-piece Alternative rock / Emo band from Portland, Oregon. The band was active from 1998 to 2006.
Dualesc formed in 1998, comprised of singer Matt McMillan, guitarist Bryon Deisher and bassist Adam Hubka. Their original drummer, Tim Steiner left in 1999 and was replaced by Marshall Tipton shortly thereafter. The band went through a couple early band names before eventually settling on Dualesc, a word the band created that was inspired by the idea of Cartesian Dualism. Dualesc recorded their first CD "Oscillations" in 2000. The disc eventually got into the hands of Richard Patrick from the band Filter_(band). Patrick personally invited them to fly out to Chicago to record at his Abyssinian Sons Studios. Produced by Richard Patrick & Rae Dileo, Dualesc recorded an EP in early 2001 at said studio. Patrick liked the band so much that he even played guitar on the song "Belief"[1]
