The Very Most

The Very Most is an indie-pop band from Boise, Idaho founded by Jeremy Jensen in 2002. Like almost every band, they exist both live and on record. But for the Very Most, the process of recording happens over years, as Jeremy, with an assembled cast of talented friends, carefully constructs layers upon layers of guitar, bass, drums, strings, percussion, woodwinds, synths, vocals and sound effects in a backyard studio. They’ve gone through many personnel changes and formats, but currently they’re a five piece, with Zach Von House on bass and vocals, Jake Hite on drums, Gia Trotter playing keyboards and vocals, and Clint Vickery on guitar, keyboards, and percussion. They take their show on the road in small doses, playing shows in Portland, Spokane, Salt Lake City and various points in between. They’ve also played shows with such bands as the Halo-Benders, The Microphones, and Thanksgiving. Their music is dense, catchy, and has a decidedly un-hip, yet slightly off-kilter, lyrical viewpoint. It’s kind of a like being the only adult at a little kids’ dance party where you get to choose the music, but the kids make you spin them around until everyone’s really dizzy. Influences include Beach Boys, Built to Spill, Smiths, and Belle and Sebastian. Congratulations Forever is the second record by The Very Most, and expands greatly on the previous album, Making the Case For Me. Congratulations Forever is released by Coming in Second records in the US and Universal Records in the Philippines. In 2009, they embarked on an ambitious recording project: “A Year With The Very Most”, where they will be recording an EP every three months. These EPs will be themed after the seasons of the year. This project is being released by Indiecater Records in Dublin, Ireland.

RevoltRevolt

RevoltRevolt began in August of 2007. Christopher Böck (guitar/vox), was showcasing material from his solo project, and was striving for something more sonically loaded. Something without limits. ReVoLtReVoLt. Chris invited Jason Serna to play drums, and Bass player Ben Brunn (Nevada Bachelors), joined the line up a year later in 2008.

The band was successful in the Northwest and garnered reviews that gave comparisons such notable acts as Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Dinosaur Jr, Jesus Mary Chain, and The Cure. Friend Jack Endino invited the band to his studio in Seattle, and while hanging out said, “You guys sounded kinda like the Pixies, but you don’t sound just like the Pixies…and I mean that as a good thing” The band pressed forward playing shows all of 2008 looking for the right studio to capture their live sound.

RevoltRevolt’s debut album “Chordata” did just that (released November 17, 2009-Spark and Shine). The record was comprised of 12 songs recorded at Egg Studios (Seattle, Wa) with Conrad Uno. The band traveled the United States tenaciously throughout 2009 and 2010 in support.

In the months of Sept/Oct/Nov 2010, ®® blasted out a 43 date National Tour of the United States with Idaho friends Built to Spill. Great reviews followed, and ®® was stoked to have the opportunity to share their music with BTS fans.

Following the tour, ®® set their sights on EGG Studios with Conrad Uno at the helm again for album #2. Sessions at EGG ran from June 22-25 of 2011, and the new album consisting of 8 tracks is set to be released in Spring of 2012.

Shortly after the recordings, ReVoLtReVoLt sweated out a 4 week Summer Tour of the United States that ran July-August.

Guitar player Ralph Mugot recently joined the band in November, providing a richer live sound, and new energy to the band.

Northwest dates are wrapping up for Fall 2011, and in 2012 RevoltRevolt will head to SXSW music festival as part of a 4 week tour of the states.

Sleepy Seeds

Sleepy Seeds is a sensitive, melodic, Boise indie rock band. Joey Corsentino and Marty Martin started playing music together in the early 1990′s, in Pueblo, Colorado. In 2009, after several years of toiling, they moved to Boise in search of a legitimate music scene. They soon convinced the legendary Chad Keever to move to Boise as their drummer, and then the locally notorious Will Gillett joined the band to expand the sound. In 2010 Sleepy Seeds played many shows in and around the Boise area. In 2011 they traveled to Portland for a show before embarking on a self-imposed indefinite hiatus. Highlights include headlining the John Denver Tribute Show at Visual Arts Collective, opening for Wye Oak at Flying M CoffeeGarage, and playing at RANCHFEST 2010 and RANCHFEST 2011.

You can catch the four-piece Sleepy Seeds performing on a somewhat regular basis around Boise:
