the biography
i don't remember writing this. i mean, for what thing. was it the 'audities' list? (that begets a story) or was it just for my own pleasure?
anyway, one day i find it up here and am pleasantly surprised. the band isn't that band. i'm not that person. but it was written by me. then.
"Fear not. A new band hailing from the fine city of Chicago is here to tell you that rock and pop will never die. Frisbie. As light and airy as the toy whose name they phonetically share, yet as far from child's play as you can get. Mixing angelic vocals and driving, rhythmic guitars, Frisbie has taken the realm of pop rock from the mundane to the sublime.
The band is made up of 5 individuals: Steve on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Liam on lead guitar and vocals, Zack on drums and vocals, Eddie on bass, and Ross coming in with the organ / keyboard/ electric piano and mini brass section that gives Frisbie part of their distinct sound. Let's run down the roster, shall we?
Steve is the McCartney figure when visually scoping out the band. With a pure and soaring voice, he takes the songs to new heights and makes you wish their album was out.
Liam, although not surly like his counterpart in Oasis, brings the Lennon to Steve's McCartney. With a less 'traditional' voice, he adds a dash of angst to the recipe of Frisbie.
Zack, as drummers are often wont to do, brings a variety of fun facial expressions to the mix while drumming his ever livin’ heart out. He also brings a fullness of sound to the bands wonderful harmonies.
Eddie is the bassist that provides the backbone to the band's addicting sound. The 'quiet' one as this writer sees it, you could make him be George Harrison to keep with the Beatles thread...
Ross, on many piano looking items and brass comes across as a fresh faced youngster fresh out of marching band. Looks are deceiving, though, as he brings a welcome and unique flair to this pop delight -- a surreal and psychedelic sound that is playful at times, and haunting at others.
Their album, "The Subversive Sounds of Love" is due out in July, and it features songs that vary in tempo and feel and sound and groove. It brings you from the melancholy ditty "Booksong" all the way to the top of the skyscrapers of "Vertigogo" in a matter of minutes. I could go track by track and rave, but I think I'll leave this the way it is. If you are at ALL a pop fan...if you at ALL love melody and harmony and love and happiness and good times, then this band is for you. RUN and buy the album when it comes out. I'm SURE I'll keep you up to date.
CAN'T GET ENOUGH. IT'S LIKE A DRUG."
