BANGTHEORY

BANGTHEORY was founded back in '95 as a "songwriting factory" to explore my interest in mixing elements of Alternative, World and Industrial, with 60s/70s Classic and Psychedelic Rock....BANGTHEORY also gave me a chance to play more guitar and drums after playing bass for most of my teens.

The demos ended up receiving a bit of industry attention, so I started expanding the recording project into a band, however, the collapse of the indie-rock business following the dot com crash, along with the realization that, for me, the fun lies in playing many of the instruments myself and that for me the need to play was for serving the songs, rather than a desire to become a business, so I decided to take a break from the industry...

But, music is a deep, life-long passion and I have returned to recording and working on music, not to chase dreams, or a contract, but simply to try and share a vision and songs that others will hopefully be able to relate to, might enjoy, be inspired by, or something (anything's good, right?).

I've also been collaborating with other artists...the first, One By One with Omenopus has received phenomenal response, as have my friends in Omenopus for both the debut, Portents and their latest, Time Flies. One By One is still available on my player, though the limited edition CD Portents, is sold out...

With the release of Down Again, my friend Ken Sailer (formerly of LMNOP) is now an official BANGTHEORIST and will be playing a bunch of guitar, lots of lead, some slide and pedal steel, maybe a bit of mandolin at some point and being the follow-up to One By One, Lee Potts returns to lend his production and performance magic and will continue to occasionally act as our George Martin on select upcoming BANGTHEORY releases.

New tracks, new videos, new members and lots more coming soon, so stay tuned!.

And from all of us at BANGTHEORY we'd like to say thank you for the strong support you've shown and we wish each of you the very best in life, love and everything.
