  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. "This foursome sounds like a national, radio-ready, alt-rock band with all the right ingredients — great vocals, strong lyrics, memorable melodies and a bit of an edge." ....- Amy Jones, Take 5 Writer & The River Morning Host.. .. .. .. "If Beck’s “Sea Change” and The Killers’ “Hot Fuss” had a love-LP, Bandazian’s “O Pioneer” would be it (the stylistically indicative “Clippership” is a must-listen)." ....- Hilary Crowe, On Tap Magazine.. .. .. .. "These guys are natural born radio-ready! Bandazian is one of those bands that's got surface and depth appeal...hooks that would grab a casual radio listener's ear and musicianship that would grab any music lover's heart...They have that ever-elusive 'what it takes' quality that you just can't fake...this one's genuine...and they are only just beginning..." ....- Annalisa-Midday Host, KFOG radio San Francisco.. .. .. .. “Bandazian’s brand of hard pop harkens back to the early days of U2, when Bono was more about making music than making news. Bandazian isn’t afraid to rock hard, but they’re smart enough not to drown out their well-crafted tunes. Even when they have the volume turned up, Bandazian’s music remains tuneful, hummable, and memorable.”....- Kim Clark, WNCW radio.. .. .. .. "[Bandazian's] music is addictive, and the energy from the live show will keep you wanting to come back for more."....- Jaime Binde, Asheville Citizen-Times.. .. .. .. "This four-piece outfit of indie rockers know how to put a catchy song together. (They’re really that good, and as one of our forum posters wrote, 'Kinda makes you wonder: if these guys were from Brooklyn instead of Asheville, would they be all over Pitchfork and Spin already?')"....- Steve Shanafelt, A&E editor, Mountain XPress.. .. .. ..
