About Me |
|
| Seizure 17 was founded in Dec. 2005 by Colin McLaughlin-Alcock (guitar/vocals). He played his first shows by himself, armed only with a cheap guitar, some effects and a drum machine-- but he played with such a passion that he consistently stunned his unexpecting audiences.“Creative lyrics drew cheering and enthusiasm from the large audience," wrote Chris, owner of the Rusty Nail on his club's website. “I dug this performer.”In March of 2006, Colin was joined by Bass player/backup vocalist Jamie Campbell. Together, they recorded Seizure 17's first album, "Too Pretty For A Riot." It was an album of striking contrasts: Colin's gritty vocals overlapping Jamie's opera-trained voice; the melodies slashed apart with dissonant chords and driving rhythms. The final, disturbing effect was a haunting portrait of modern alienation and drug abuse, which some fans have described as "apocalyptic."The cheaply-produced album had its detractors, but it also won the band many fans. The album reached rotation on college radio stations across the country. It was featured on "Local Support," the podcast of the Philadelphia Citypaper, and the "Live at the Nail" radio show which is syndicated to stations around the Philadelphia Area.Currently, Seizure 17 is continuing to play regularly in Philadelphia and New York, to a steadily growing audience. They are also working on producing a new CD, due for release in Feb. 2007. | |

Music:Member Since: 2/9/2006Band Website: seizure17.com Band Members: Colin McLaughlin-Alcock: Guitar/Vocals Jamie Campbell: Bass/Vocals Stan the Robot: Drums Influences: Iggy Pop, The Fall, The Sonic Youth, The White Stripes, The Sex Pistols. Sounds Like: "Seizure 17 is a completely innnovative post-grunge experimental psuedo-duo. Though they site the Smashing Pumpkins and The Stooges as their influences, the record draws comparison to progressive motor city bands such as Demolition Doll Rods, Funger, and, yes, White Stripes. Exciting, edgy and intelligent, Seizure 17 deserves all the attention they can get." -Origivation Magazine Record Label: Father Devine Records Type of Label: Indie |
