"Instead of sitar-worshiping, hookah-huffing side of the Stones, Daniel looks to the Mason-Dixon, blues-loving, pelvic-thrusting side and dials it up 24 notches." * Ari Spool, the Stranger Seattle
For his last EP Release “Self Titled” on Flotation Records Junaury 13th 2009 Branden Daniel and his 2008 band members of Everybody Gets Laid (Kyle Lawrence on Bass, and Holly Gits on Drums) recorded with Producer John Goodmanson. Known for his ability to capture the loudest, raw intensity (with such groups as the Gossip, Sleater-Kinney and Hot Hot Heat), John’s work with Branden seems to accentuate the bombastic and explosive energy, known well to those who attend their live shows. Great examples of this strength in sonic power can be found on tracks like “Come On”, “Love button” and “Luau”. Still all the crunch and fuzz doesn’t over shadow the soulful blues and song crafting abilities that are revealed in the EP’s songs like the 12string Guitar bomp “Work Like Your Man” and the quieter and more vulnerable “Lonely, Low down”. Best put by Goodmanson, “[this EP] sounds like early 70’s Blue Cheer had a Love child with Iggy and the Stooges.” This newest recording marks as EP number three for Branden Daniel. The First EP 2005’s Love It which was self released, self produced and recorded at Mississippi Studios in Portland, OR gained Branden a spot in the Portland Indie band hype as well as an opportunity to start touring the West Coast. The second EP 2006’s Back Down was also recorded in Portland at Revolver studios with Producer and Brian Jonestown Massacre Bassist Collin Hegna. The EP Back Down was again a self released record but produced Branden’s First single “All or Nothing: Back Down” and was responsible for getting Branden Daniel played on many NW Radio stations, Blogs/Podcasts, KEXP, even the BBC. Local Papers such as Portland’s the Mercury and Seattle’s the Stranger also took notice with high praise. Currently aggressively tour the states throughout most of 2009, Branden Daniel continues to deliver stunning live shows and even more exciting music working harder and harder to not let any reputation precede him. Hell bent on evolving and known by those close to him as an artist that constantly creates, Branden Daniel currently has an all new 7" ready to record in August 09' between his Western US and National tours. An artist of the people that lives to create and share Branden Daniel it seems will never run out of words and music to gift to us. As he sings in Self Titled’s second song Work like your man “like no other that’s been, Babe, you know what I’m sayin’, I wouldn’t work like your man”
