Details:
The First Times are a new Seattle-based power pop band.
Shane Herrell (lead vocals, guitar) fronts the band, with support from Travis Morrison (guitar), Wayne Draves (bass) and Brian Papenfuss (drums, percussion). They’ve all played in a number of local Seattle bands including The Knast, Hallways,
Spook The Horse, Virgin, and The Spits. The First Times was started as a means to satisfy a sweet tooth not being met
by any of their other projects.
The sound is a newer breed of power pop, clearly influenced by 60s British garage bands like Small Faces, The
High Numbers, The Smoke, The Kinks, and The Rolling Stones as well as 70s breakout artists The Ramones, Tom Petty, and The Jam. The First Times’ songs tell classic stories about life, from falling in love to the loneliness and ugliness of over-indulgence. Catchy lyrics are matched with upbeat music and a swagger meant for dancing.
The First Times recorded their self-titled debut full length With Steve E Nix from The Cute Lepers.
