Bio

Calvados was born ten years ago, towards the latter years of elementary school, when Beam Bysshe and Lev Lewis began writing and singing as a duo. "Big Hairy Monster", "Jolly Times", "The Squirrel Song"; these were the humble compositions of two cheerful, young musicians.

A couple of years later and Orlando, Beam's brother and Sam, a friend, have woven their way into the group's fabric. The band, now outfitted with the most classic of classic rock line-ups, two guitars plus bass and drums, begin to play throughout their high-school's social scene and onwards. Performances at high-school haunts like The Kathedral, Reilly's and The El Mocambo to venues such as The Opera House, The Mod Club, The Supermarket, Rancho Relaxo, The Central and more.

Pop has the connotation of "poppy", but Calvados is fascinated by the prospect of taking the melodies, hooks and conventions that define pop music and shuffling it around with the lyricism, structure and viewpoints of differing genres. The songs are wordy, catchy, perhaps exciting. The result of taking the sexuality of Prince, Pulp, Madonna or Bowie and imprinting it upon modern indie rock.
