Bio
VOIDER have come up out of the east village scene, hanging around at Darkroom and recording their first demo on a home Pro-Tools rig. Unlike other New York bands like The Bravery and Interpol, whose music they like, they have opted for a stripped down approach with no make-up and a focus on substance over style. Like these bands they are influenced both by NYC’s New Wave bands from the CBGBs era, like Blondie and Television, and then the great UK groups that followed, the Smiths, The Cure, and before everything, Bowie. But unlike their contemporaries they have a real Brit fronting the band. There are no fake accents here.
Their first studio recordings, including the catchy singles "Hazer" and "Satisfy Me", were mixed and engineered by Jamie Candiloro (REM, Ryan Adams) and mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound (The Cure, Coldplay). Their debut album is in the works and the band is looking for a contract. After a week at Chung King Studios in NYC in Sept. 06 the band have released their third single - a double A-side outing leading off with the danceable Alt-rock "Hooked", followed by the beautiful and sparse "Lying By Your Side While You Sleep".
Their sound draws on a number of disparate influences. It sounds like what happens when you put Rolling Stones guitar rhythm riffs and bongos on top of Blondie bass, Doors echo in a Police song structure, a lyric that lands somewhere between Smith's irony and Cureish dark truth, with a guy who sings a bit like, well, a bit like, um...oh, whatever! Just listen to the flippin tracks, man!
