Bio / Background
Squaretape was formed in 2004 by multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Kirk Hamilton. An accomplished jazz saxophonist and composer, Hamilton started teaching himself guitar in 2003, seeking to find an outlet for his rock writing. A year later, he formed Squaretape with guitarist Dan Nervo; the band’s personnel also includes Dan Apczynski on guitar, keyboards, and vocals, Brian Fox on bass, and Peter Thomas on drums.
The band members capped a successful 2006 by heading into the studio to record this self-titled EP. Their first recording slated for wide release, it is a collection of the driving beats, shimmering vocal harmonies, ripping guitars, and screaming synths that have become inextricable components of the band’s sound.
The disc opens with “The Wall’s Gonna Break You Down,” a jittery ode to sexual frustration, followed by the blaring horn section and angular vocal breakdowns of “Standing Offer.
