The Series are making sure the world knows that a piano can rock as loud as any guitar, but why disgard the guitar? Can't classic rock and piano rock live in peace? The Series think so.
Bio / Background
I remember flying down the road in a car with a friend after soccer practice in tenth grade, blasting the classic tune “Song For The Dumped” by Ben Folds Five. I recall thinking of the utter disregard this band had for the health of their piano, hearing it get beaten and smashed in such an artful way over the course of the song. I went home after that and sat down at my piano. I had played for over ten years previous to that, and I hated every minute of it, but now something made me see it in a different way. I learned how to play the piano so that all the elderly people in the room got angry at me for playing too loud, saying, “You’re going to break the paino!!” I learned to take that as a compliment.
John moved into town in 2nd grade. He started to learn bass in middle school, and the combination of living in a small town and most people preferring to learn guitar over bass, he was asked to play with a lot of different people.
↓ more ↓He grew into this bass so like it was another part of his body. We started playing together and found that our styles, though different, matched better than we could have dreamed.
Mark’s drumming ability was young when he joined us. John and I would encourage him to explore his kit, and not just do what he thought he should do, or what he thought we thought he should do. Taking this into consideration, he found this own style in comparison with us. Inspired from his influences, he soon figured out where to go, and it melted together wonderfully.
We thought we had a band. We played together for a year, having some problems here and there, but generally merging together well. However, we still felt like there was something missing. There were other elements we were ignoring in the music, which were yearning for us to explore, but we didn’t know how…until we met Henry.
A true man himself from England, we had heard he played a rocking guitar. We asked him if he wanted to play with us. I remember from the first time we jammed, looking around, and wondering how in the world this was working out. I had always been told that piano and electric guitar had never really gone well together since they’re both traditionally lead instruments; they would just offset each other…IF not properly used. Henry, coming from a hard rock background, understood his part in our band before any of the rest of us did. Before we knew it, he was laying down licks of all flavors, and yet, it seemed to fit.
We can’t really say what this record is. In some ways, it’s void of any real concrete genre. A few of the songs sound like Radiohead, some sound like Ben Folds Five, some sound like Jerry Lee Lewis doing a duet with Jimmy Hendrix, and hopefully some are something new. We didn’t approach this record having a concept in mind, and I don’t think one came out it. We just tried to make a good, solid record…and we did that.
