Bel Auburn

Bio:

Bel Auburn is an indie rock band from Mid-Ohio.

We've been playing together for over 7 years.

The band consists of Scott, who plays the telecaster and sings the most; Mark, who plays the drums and sings the second most; Jared, who writes all the lyrics and makes noise with his guitar; Justin, who plays the rhodes piano and has a laptop; and Mark Abrams, who brings the big beats and plays bass, more synth than guitar, and helps us work the rest of our instruments.

As far as the mission of the band goes, here's what we are about: We try to write good songs, and then play out as much as we can and sing them for good people. No frills, no ego, no hyperbole. Just a show and some songs that we hope you enjoy.

We'd like to thank you for listening. ..

Sounds Like:

Imagine your favorite pop song as a beanbag chair. Got the image? Now, imagine someone dropping a very small anvil on said chair. That's pretty much what we sound like. ..
