It later expanded into personal themes of alienation, disillusionment, and defiance with hints of light. Van Aragon's unique style has a wide array of influences: classical, experimental, psychedelic, soul, electronic, grunge, post punk and art rock. Buzzmutt Chase Anthony Jesse Olswang Eric Alonzo Scott Franklin Jason Adams -from SF -The three founding members of Buzzmutt – Scott Franklin, Eric Alonzo, and Jesse Olswang – originally met playing in another band, Sid Arthur (Siddhartha). They decided to join forces starting a collaborative project [Buzzmutt] that found influences as far ranging as Sonic Youth, Radiohead, Wolf Eyes, and Built to Spill. Chas Anthony joined as a second guitarist and the four of them became the official Buzzmutt, releasing their first album in July 2012: Static in the Mind’s Eye. Combining a grungy rock sound, 60s psychedelic, noise experimentation, and the catchy but aggressive riffs of garage rock and punk. Near the beginning of 2013, a fifth member would be added to the line-up – Jason Adams. Arriving simultaneously with what would become a new chapter for Buzzmutt, they prepared to begin work on a new EP with former Mars Volta member Isaiah “Ikey” Owens acting as their producer. The band had met Ikey while playing a show with his current band Free Moral Agents. Ikey had approached them after, excited by what he had seen and heard, and offered his services as a producer. The Midnight Snackers Dylan Haas Ralph Patterson Aaron Sankin Brendan Ahern Vincent Courtoy -from SF We started with bleep bloops, moved to kra-chang, then tossed in some boots and pants. "Now lemme tell you, of all the surf bands that are out right now...[The Midnight Snackers] are one of the most danceable and heaviest." -The Brown Noise "A mixture of old school head on Garage Rock and a collection of keyboards, drum machines, and effects pedals combine to blend a fresh EP that incorporates a multitude of Blues, Psychedelic, and Surf Rock sounds. You can get the full range of what they are doing from the second that the EP begins to play. Sonic sprawling wails and spaced out textures dance willingly against surf rock steady drum beats and guitars in a fun loud raw powerful debut." -Good Pop, Bad Pop |
