SeepeopleS

Led with the multifaceted Can Bradford, SeepeopleS can be an East Coastline alternative pop/rock and roll outfit with a solid psychedelic impact. Bradford (never to become puzzled with the past due Will Bradley, a well-known big-band innovator from the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s) offers worn a variety of hats with SeepeopleS; furthermore to serving because the band’s business lead vocalist and managing a lot of the songwriting, Bradford offers played acoustic guitar (both electrical and acoustic), electrical bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, body organ as well as the Indian sitar for his group. SeepeopleS’ melodic, occasionally lush work pulls on a multitude of affects from different eras. Obviously, Bradford admires Radiohead, Kula Shaker as well as the Orb, but he also offers a whole lot of psychedelic, English Invasion and intensifying rock inspirations from your ’60s and ’70s — inspirations offering Pink Floyd, Ruler Crimson, the Moody Blues and late-period Beatles (as with The White Recording, Magical Secret Tour, and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonesome Hearts Club Music group). Rather than most of SeepeopleS’ affects come from rock and roll; there are suggestions of spirit, funk, and dubwise reggae in a few of Bradford’s materials, and his group occasionally incorporates components of electronica (including trance and drum’n’bass/jungle). Bradford, actually, performed electronica recordings when he was freelancing being a dance membership DJ in the past due ’90s; non-etheless, SeepeopleS is really a guitar-based rock-band first of all. Lyrically, SeepeopleS could be very dark; Bradford’s lyrics frequently deal with designs of alienation, and his materials provides frequently been referred to as melancholy, cynical, world-weary, and irritated. SeepeopleS was produced in Allston, MA in 2000, when three ex-members of a fresh England band known as Cosmic Problem — Bradford, bassist Dan Ingenthron, and drummer Tim Haney — made a decision to maintain working jointly. SeepeopleS hadn’t been jointly very long if they arrived a gig starting for Cracker at a fresh York City place referred to as the Acme Underground, and after 2 yrs of East Coastline gigs, SeepeopleS supplied their first record, For the nice of the country, in 2002. It had been also in 2002 that Ingenthron and Haney still left the music group (for awhile, bassist Keith Mann and drummer Chad Hildebran had been up to speed), although both of these came back in 2004 for the national tour. Various other important occasions for SeepeopleS in 2004 included a move from New Britain to Asheville, NC as well as the release of the second record, The Corn Syrup Conspiracy.
