Moodroom

Favoring an aggressive yet melodic and intricate design of alternative pop/rock and roll, Moodroom is really a female-fronted strap whose primary affects range from Stomach as well as the Pixies to Garbage. Additional valid comparisons consist of My Bloody Valentine, Veruca Sodium, Portishead, Madder Rose, as well as the underrated Shallow. Moodroom was shaped in Washington, D.C., in 1997, when woman vocalist Stef Magro (who takes on rhythm acoustic guitar and writes a lot of the band’s lyrics) became a member of forces with business lead guitarist Gene Diotalevi, keyboardist Jay Hardin, bassist Mike Wolpe, and drummer Sean Saley (previously of alternative rock-band Government Concern and punk clothing Starvation Military). A number of the music artists have been involved with activities beyond music; Magro is really a graphics developer, while Diotalevi can be an officer in america Coast Safeguard. (In January 2001, Diotalevi led an 18-guy platoon inside a wedding ceremony for the inauguration of U.S. Chief executive George W. Bush). Hardin, in the meantime, has a history in social function and it has participated in outreach applications for troubled teens within the Washington, D.C., region. In fact, it had been Hardin’s participation in social function that influenced the name Moodroom; the “feeling space” was section of a rehab service where he worked well within the ’90s, and Moodroom can be an suitable name for the music group because their tracks tend to become moody and atmospheric. Moodroom 1st entered the studio room in 1997, documenting a self-titled EP for Solar Vixen Music. And in 1998, the choice rockers offered their second EP, EP2 (also on Solar Vixen). It wasn’t until 2001 — four years after Moodroom’s development — which they documented a full-length recording. That yr, the band documented Hung Through to Breathing, which arrived within the Fowl label in early 2002.
