The Brilliant Inventions may be the worst band you'll ever hear.

Sure, they have a ton of smart, catchy, rockin' songs that get stuck in your head for days. And okay, yeah--they kick supafuzz harmonies over sophisticated guitar parts, but so what? Who wants to hear something like that??

Some people think that just because Eliot Bronson and Josh Lamkin have both won awards for their songwriting, and both toured as solo acts before forming their little band that The Brilliant Inventions would be... well, brilliant. Well think again.

The Brilliant Inventions don't have one song with vague, pretentious lyrics, zero gratuitous guitar solos, and all their songs are under four minutes long. So what if in one Brilliant Inventions show, you are likely to hear songs about Waffle House waitresses, disaster-prone girlfriends, and the blatant confession, "I wanna see you naked," all woven together with hysterical stage banter and songs of the more poignant and heartbreaking kind. I, for one, want my songwriters to be dark, brooding, and completely unintelligible.

Sure, if what you want are well-crafted songs that are literate, witty, and instantly accessible, The Brilliant Inventions is your band. Whatever. You probably like The Beatles, Ben Folds Five, Fountains of Wayne, and Tom Petty too. Get a life.
