the eASTERN sEABOARD

Black Saint/Tigerasylum Records

Seth Nanaa – drums
Jordon Schranz – bass
Brent Bagwell – saxophone

The Eastern Seaboard rides the balance between punk intensity and soundtrack-esque expansiveness, pledging allegiance to free and improvisational music from all time, particularly to the jazz masters of the past (for the reasons behind their music as much as the music itself). Things aren’t what you want, so you make them up. The band continues to believe what they want to believe about music. They continue to want to bring it to the People; the revolution. Everyone likes to see musicians try really hard, they tell themselves.

Music on the Web (UK):
Bagwell’s sax is characterized by dissonance, - screeching chaotically, wailing eerily, and droning like feedback from an amplifier. Schranz’s bass is also rock-like, favoring catchy, thumping riffs rather than traditional walking bass lines and using the bow repeatedly to create a keyboard/synth-like sound. The musicians consistently gel together, developing the mood and tone of each piece through astonishing musical empathy.
