Bryan Scary

Although Brooklyn based singer/songwriter Bryan Scary maintains a open public persona commensurate with his surname, sounding as some kind of Frankenstenian cross from the Cramps as well as the cast of Lemony Snicket’s Some Unlucky Events novels, the multi-instrumentalist isn’t the gothy loss of life metallic freak one might expect. Declaring the Beatles, the Kinks, Queen, and XTC as his principal musical affects, Scary essays a widescreen type of orchestral, semi-psychedelic artwork pop in a method somewhere within the vintage obsessions of Jellyfish or the Posies as well as the twistier edges from the Apples in Stereo system, the Olivia Tremor Control, and their supporters. Blessed in 1983 and elevated in the suburbs of Chicago, Scary started acquiring piano lessons at a age, but transferred to NY in the first 2000s to wait film college at NY University. (Together with his musical profession, Scary also ratings and shows up in low-budget movies in the brand new York region.) While completing his level, Scary began saving elaborate house demos of his very own power pop music, completing an album’s value of songs throughout 3 years. When the tiny indie Dark and Greene Information agreed upon Scary, he had taken the opportunity to displace his very own pre-programmed beats with live drums performed by Apollo Sunshine’s Jeremy Dark before liberating the demos as Bryan Scary as well as the Shredding Tears on, properly plenty of, Halloween 2006. To tour behind the recording, Scary formed an effective band from the same name, support his vocals and keyboards with second keyboardist Mike Acreman, guitarist Graham Norwood, bassist David Ostrem, and drummer Brian Bauer. The next recording by Bryan Scary as well as the Shredding Tears, Airline flight from the Knife, was planned for early 2008.
