About Me |
|
| Abbot Kinney's Facebook Page Abbot Kinney is an indie rock band carving out a sound of their own with powerful melodies, at times lilting others haunting, carried on an edge of dissonance. While the band is introspective, they showcase emotion without ever succumbing to that word's first 3 letters. Currently collaborating on their first album, the group formed in 2007 with Brad Swanson’s versatile precission drumming, Jeremiah Baca on guitar, etching high pitched, toe curling riffs that somehow communicate with the unearthly, Jared Swanson’s vocals that go from mid-range Vienna boy choir to a scream effortlessly, an effect that is surprising, daunting and engaging and Will Moore, the glue that brings them all together with thumping bass hooks culled from grunge rock. Together they make music that is both beautiful and harrowing. Their influences include Elliott Smith, Radiohead, Broken Social Scene and Nirvana. |

Music:Member Since: 02/02/2006Band Website: sonicbids.com/abbotkinney Band Members: Jared Swanson (vocals, paino, guitar), Jeremiah Baca (guitar), Will Moore (bass), Brad Swanson (drums) Influences: Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Nirivana, Bob Dylan, U2, Fleetwood Mac, The Pixies, Bjork, TV on the Radio, Broken Social Scene, Ben Folds, Kat Power, Portishead, Blonde Redhead, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, ELO, Peter Gabriel, Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, NIN, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Arcade Fire. . . Sounds Like: For those wishing to party like it's 1993 comes Abbot Kinney, a new band that (despite its ocean-side name) has been making waves on the East LA circuit for a while now. Their sound is unique to the Angelino scene; belonging neither with the art rockers emerging from downtown, nor the easygoing hipsters of Silverlake. Despite the fact that the 80s revival is somehow still trucking (The Killers, Crystal Castles), with a step back to the psychedelic 70s on its tail (MGMT, Beach House), Abbot Kinney has decided to move the jam session forward a few years. The band invokes a sound that culls from early 90s college radio, with The Pixies and "Pablo Honey" era Radiohead as specific influences, though the guys could hardly be called a throwback group, as they check the irony and self-sympathy of Generation X at the door. In its place is an Obama-era (an awesome and only slightly cloying thing to type) earnestness that showcases "emotion", while never succumbing to that word's first three letters. The band has thus far released a small batch of demos, which, while not yet polished, have still presented a wide variety of sounds and a startling maturity for such a new band. No EP is available for wide distribution, but you can check out some of the band's songs right HERE, and I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more from them right here in the near future.".................................................... ............................................................ ... - http://sharkparty.blogspot.com/ Type of Label: Unsigned |
