Details:
'frequency' is a combination of sound and ideas that have their roots in underground music from the early 80's to late 90's. Trying to bring together these ideas and still make them seem consistant was a bit of a challenge at first. The songs range from the straight ahead New Order infected guitar, bass and synth driven 'waking life' to the heavy distored rhythm and feedback of 'god is on my side' and the fuzzy, swirly 'painting in my mind' that show more my bloody valentine and spiritualized leanings. The songs still sound varied but do gain a unifying element with regards to the vocals which owe some debt to morrissey/the smiths. This is the debut release from sound theory (recorded during the summer/fall of 2004).


From David Cobb of Donewaiting.com:

sound theory reminds me of the good independent music out of Boston or maybe the Midwest in the early eighties. A relatively new band, their sound is raw but not punk rock raw. It's more college radio than that, but is not over-the-top by any stretch. It's the subtlety of the music that I like best about sound theory and I think this band has great potential - the keyboards add a nice touch (again, understated in a way that really works for them).
