"Idiosympathy's music displayed a wall of ethereal guitar noise over thick bass lines; it featured creatively structured, yet palpable - sometimes acoustic - guitar harmonies mingling with soaring notes from a vocalist straddling a tug of war between thom yorks labored tonality and jeff buckley's eerily peacful cries. You'll hear more from this band" - Tribune Review - march 10, 2005

Bio
Nearing the end of 2004 the band, which to that point called itself “the quick”, discovered a west coast group of the same name would keep them from releasing their new ep as planned. Thus the name ‘idiosympathy’ was assumed just in time to win Pittsburgh’s prestigious Graffiti Rock Challenge, shortly after sweeping the Nick’s Fat City’s Rock Wars. Though they are often compared to radiohead, u2, or jeff buckley, the band refuses to be held down by comparisons and instead moves ahead to something new and something fresh. Everything idiosympathy has sought to accomplish has been realized thus far. Their professional attitude and musical foresight will continue to attract attention from industry professionals as it already has from EMI and RCA, while their impassioned and tight live sets will draw and enthrall listeners.
Idiosympathy has shared the stage with bands such as lovedrug, army of me, new invisible joy, monarch, and this band is called the you, as well as played opening stages for national acts like fall out boy, hoobastank, head automatica, velvet revolver, suburban legends, and rusted root. They look forward to promoting their first ep “we have lost our self control” and extending their area of play beyond Pittsburgh. Pay attention.
