Bass player John Parsons first discovered guitarist John Dickey’s music in the mid-90s via a random purchase of Pie’s “gone” EP in a Greenwich Village record store. Dickey was the mastermind behind Pie, a Boston-based band that opened for Built to Spill and Yo La Tengo before imploding. Parsons led San Francisco alt-rockers, Rule of Thumb, through four albums (and opening slots for The Gourds, Chuck Prophet, and Richmond Fontaine, among others) before dissolving the band. In 2002, Parsons, determined to find more Pie music, discovered that Dickey had relocated to San Francisco and formed a new band, Richard Bitch. A decade later, the two Johns joined forces in Verst along with drummer Brandon Hemley (also from Rule of Thumb). The music incorporates a wide variety of influences: everything from Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement to Judas Priest and King Crimson, layered with the “A.M. Gold” sensibilities of America and Bread. And yet, it is distinctively and unmistakably original. Starship Crash, the debut album released in 2015, was deemed a “noise-pop masterpiece” by Pandora and received numerous accolades in the press. David Slain, the band’s second album, was released in 2017; Pandora once again raved "If 1990s indie rock is now considered classic rock, Verst’s second album, David Slain, is an instant classic." The band's third album, Rammed Hair, will be released on vinyl and all digital platforms on January 11, 2020. Together We Can Rule The Galaxy Travis, Ethan, Ryan, Burt, Kevin -from Oakland, CA -Oakland, CA quintet Together We Can Rule the Galaxy rocks with the sonic wherewithal of a band whose members grew up during the 1990s heyday of underground college radio. The band's new album “Long Held Secrets” finds their own barbed-hook brand of proto emo that could almost be described as progressive rock if it weren’t for their shared indie rock sensibility. |
