Biography

gIvE mE a PoInT oN wHiCh tO sTaNd, AnD i WiLL mOvE tHe EaRtH" These immortal words written by Archimedes are known today as the Archimedian Point. Hoping to personify this brilliant idea through music, the point hopes to instill positivity back into society while staying socially aware and promoting global activism. "the members of the archimedian point aim to restore amiable experience back into existence via musical journeys with the public as the prime passenger. With the blending of styles and lyrical content that does more than s-p-e-l-l itself, the point might be able to awaken the sunshine slumbering in your soul......It all depends on YOU........."
what the people are saying:


an exciting blend of progressive songwriting and socially conscious lyrics with a hard rock heart. Designed to inspire those who value independent thought

Genre: Rock: Progressive
"genre specific" is a most curious title for the debut 6-song CD by, the archimedian pOiNt, because within its rocking but accessible grooves are the kind of stylistic shifts that render such labels as metal, progressive rock, thrash, or post grunge simply inadequate. Yes, "genre specific" can boast tasteful and well-executed excursions into these more or less identifiable genres, but such exclamations are carried only in service of the song, and never as superfluous window dressing. Promoting an agenda of social consciousness and global awareness, songs like “Overdrive” & “Relic” rock with fierce - and classic hard rock (think Rush, Fugazzi, System of a Down) intensity, while the mix of acoustic guitar with sampled George W. Bush speechifyin’ in “Hubris” recalls nothing less than G’n’R-like grandeur. But in the languid lead vocal of “Nemesis Domesticus” an echo of Kurt Cobain gives way to the sonic charge of thundering guitar riffs that Led Zeppelin began perfecting four decades ago. All in all, the CD "genre specific" by, the archimedian pOiNt, is a very promising blast of rock bravado from an undersized behemoth (it’s a 2-man group) with hard rocking roots.- rice b. radioindy.com

  The Archimedian Point are keen on coalescing genres like atoms smashing. It’s a shift from mid-90’s ...The Archimedian Point are keen on coalescing genres like atoms smashing. It’s a shift from mid-90’s crunch complete with a less murky take on Janes Addiction like riffs and vocals, or even a sonically more interesting Hoobastank. They don’t stay on this for long, as they infuse a little bit of political fury, on “Radio Sawa.” It starts with a looped radio speech on terrorism, with an intricate arpeggio riff, that spirals into a chugging cacophony that wouldn’t sound out of place on a System of a down record, and back into a jangly Pearl Jam refrain. This name dropping doesn’t mean a thing really, The Archimedian Point is at once wholly recognizable, and at times completely without category, it’s like a melting pot with a lot of familiar ingredients, that somehow just works.
