Bio
Innerpartysystem are an electronic rock band which formed in Mohnton, Pennsylvania, United States in 2006. They consist of Patrick Nissley (vocals, programming), Kris Barman (guitar, synths, programming), and Jared Piccone (drums). Jesse Cronan (sampling, synths, vocals) left IPS in March 2010. Their first record, Innerpartysystem was released on Island Records in 2008. The band self-released their EP American Trash on May 25, 2010.
The origins of Innerpartysystem can be traced in 2002, when drummer Jared Piccone and vocalist Patrick Nissley attended school together in Reading, Pennsylvania, an hour outside of Philadelphia. The towns somewhat bleak, depressed nature (it remains the countrys sixth most-dangerous city) eventually inspired the harsh, mechanical tones of the bands current music although, ironically, the areas local scene had little to do with IPSs eventual sound. As the band puts it, we were the only group in our area experimenting with dance sounds.
The duo started writing songs together, inspired by both by their love of electronic music (The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails) and hardcore punk. Although the intensity of the band, in all its forms, has stayed consistent, the group saw its style begin to morph over time, becoming less rock and more digitally based.
