BIOGRAPHY:
Praised at once for their intelligent lyrics and their pop sensibilities, The Bradbury Press have the uncanny ability to make thought-provoking music that sounds familiar the first time you hear it.
With their latest CD "The Front", The Bradbury Press demonstrate this ability perfectly, combining melodic storytelling and inspired riffs with an clear vision that steers clear of rootsy melodrama or jamband boredom. Songs like "Domino", "Dive", and "The Front" strike the balance almost perfectly, painting complex scenes
laced with optimism onto a refined musical canvas.
"I want to write about ideas that interest me; the choices we make, and the way we influence eachother's lives, even in small ways, every day", says Darren Golden, Bradbury's main songwriter.
Led by the immediately recognizable voice of Golden, The Bradbury Press have invite quick comparisons to acoustic rockers Dave Matthews and Counting Crows, who sport similarly distinct vocals and thoughtful
lyrics stacked over acoustic based tracks. But this is no one man show, the band is a band in the truest sense of the word, with Dave Brewer(Electric Guitar and the band's other vocalist/songwriter), Travis Hartman(Bass), and Greg Garcia (Drums) each contributing their talents to the whole. Call it Popular Americana or Rhythmic Roots Rock, The Bradbury Press call Seattle their home. Better known for spawning indie rockers like Modest Mouse and labels like Sub Pop, Seattle also hosts a thriving acoustic scene. Having cut their teeth at the Seattle proving ground, The Tractor Tavern, opening for artists like The Clumsy Lovers, The Clintons, Tom Lambda and The Paperboys and The Samples the Bradburies have been criss-crossing the Western States in their mini-bus, Shelley, creating new fans in their wake.
From the beachside party haunt of Canes in San Diego to Seattle's million-plus world famous Bumbershoot Music Festival, these boys have as much fun offstage as they do on, making new friends and fans in every
town. Drummer Greg Garcia notes, "We LOVE playing out but the best thing about shows is almost always the new friends we make." Judging by the band's consistently busy schedule, they are making a lot of friends.
