PRESS
"This is a stunning collection of pressurized, molecule-stuffed bursts of pent-up anger interspersed with slow, brooding monoliths of sound. The potential here is frightening. All in a wonderful effort from a band that should attract some major attention...”
-BAM, San Francisco
“It’s not often you come across a band that kicks out a magic spell as large as theses kids produce.”
-Cover, New York
“... finally receiving their long overdue stamp of respect in the Bay Area music scene... 187CALM are on the brink of breaking big. Recent shows with Type O Negative, BioHazard, Killing Joke and Stabbing Westward have provided even more oil to the gears of this ready to roll road warrior.”
-American Music Press, San Francisco
“There is just a strange sense of magic around this band that is completely indescribable.”
-Delirium, New York
“187CALM just spawned their new six-track CD recently and I’m at a loss to explain its power.”
-City Revolt, San Jose
“187CALM conjures up a unique, current sound that catapults aggressive guitar hooks into a cauldron of haunting bass lines and tribal drum beats. I highly recommend grabbing a copy of 187CALM and spinning it immediately.”
-Gavin Report, San Francisco
“Saying the band is “atmospheric’ is an understatement. Listening to 187CALM is like stumbling through a steamy Guatemalan jungle with a 104 degree fever. Major attention for these veterans is forthcoming to be sure.”
-BAM, San Francisco
“187CALM based in the San Francisco Bay Area became known for their smoky, claustrophobically atmospheric sound… a legendary live band that had the ability to gently bend the collective consciousness of an audience at will... the departure of 187CALM was as mysterious as their music...”
-Discogs.com
I was thrilled to get to see 187CALM again at the Marsugi's reunion night. I never thought I'd get to see/hear 187CALM again, and it was at least as good as I remembered it being from back in the day.
On behalf of myself and the rest of my temporarily reformed band-mates, we would like to apologize in advance for kicking your bands ass when we play this month. :) I'm frikin getting excited about that gig. It's going to be fun! Can't wait to see you all again.
