Bio

The New Seasons are a jam band with a DIY sensibility, a punk/alternative background, some jazz and funk influences sprinkled in, and a good dose of rock music. Consisting of Iain Standing on guitar and bass, and Declan Poehler on drums/vocals, The New Seasons formed after the demise of their previous band, FeedBack, in which Declan played drums and sang, and Iain played bass. Following the end of FeedBack, Iain, who had already been playing guitar for 6 years, began studying classical and jazz guitar with Maurice Arenas, adding to his already blues influenced guitar style. Declan, who is a self taught drummer with incredible skill began to incorporate jazz and funk style rhythms in to his playing style to create a distinctive sound, especially with his vintage kit. Declan lacks the ability to read music but makes up for it with his amazing sense to hear and feel a song.

We are influenced by such bands and musicians as: Presidents of the United States of America, the White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Kenny Aronoff, Joe Bonamassa, Clutch, Oysterhead, the Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Howlin' Wolf, Green Day, the Japandroids, the Caesars, the Ramones, the Hives, Elastica, Elvis Costello, the Clash, Cracker, etc.

In one practice the band had already gathered about twenty songs, all of which can be heard on the demo, live, or any other recordings. When they record, they opt to use a basic premise of the song, and then do a play through the song in its entirety, with the solo or jam section being completely off the cuff and free form in an attempt to capture the live and rawness of their performance, as well as prove their ability to play off of one another. Most songs they record occur in one take.

We now have a few shows in the future, one on August 25th at Jams Music Center, another at Frederick Music Festival on September 29th, and a few others in September.
