INNOCENT NOISE - BRIEF BIO -
"The Indie Life For Me" - There is still an aura of innocence and pride in being in charge of ones own music career. I.N. is rising above the pre-manufactured noise of pop culture through distinctive sound, and determined effort at expanding onto the international stage. Innocent Noise has been reborn since the addition of front man Craig Harrison [8-04] after being instrumental for over a year. I.N.'s "debut" self-titled EP was just the tip of the iceberg. I.N.'s latest EP, Xotica, represents an elevation in sound for Innocent Noise being blessed to now record with producer/engineer Alan Sanderson of Strate Sound Studios in San Diego, CA...the band's home town.
With a mountain of new music in the live set; and having opened for Pepper and Long Beach Dub All Stars on the funkier side, and Chaimara [OzFest band] on the harder side, Innocent Noise can rock just about any house they are privileged to play.
The sound? Driving funky rhythms, melodic structure and strong tribal beats. Combining eccentric licks, aggressive power chords and urgently poetic vocals, the band is influenced by several of the most epic artists of all time, and some obscuritites only core fans have ever heard of. The influences? Read
the bios.
Are we Innocent? Is it Noise? We intend to rock the world until we get some answers!
In the meantime, YOU decide.
