Influences

Isn't "Influences" a little vague?  Our parents and wives / families are probably the strongest influences in our lives.  They factor the decisions we make, and actions we take.  The songs we write are about people we know, and things we do; they're about experiences unique to us, that we hope our listeners can relate to.  That said, here's a short list of artists bands we like and wish we were as cool as:

The Beatles

The Kinks

The Dandy Warhols

Superdrag

David Gray

Neutral Milk Hotel

The Specials

The Pixies

Radiohead

The Old 97's

Weezer

Ween

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Beastie Boys

Ozzy

Beck

The Ramones

Grateful Dead

Jane's Addiction

Nirvana

Bad Religion

Bad Manners

The English Beat

Fountains of Wayne

Ben Folds

...You get the idea.

Nothing you've ever heard before. We're earth-shattering, man. Absolutely Ground breaking. Don't even try to compare us to anyone. It would be an insult to our artistry.

Thank you, please drive thru.

   About Building James


Building%20James
Quantcast

Building James is an original indie rock/power pop band from southern NH. Their sound relies heavily on catchy hooks, vocal harmonies, and raw energy. Building James has been influenced by a variety of bands and genres from the Dandy Warhols to Green Day to the Old 97's.

Building James was originally formed in 2005 as an acoustic act featuring Dan Buckner on guitar and Ben Belcourt on percussion. Focusing on original power pop tunes Building James played the southern New Hampshire open mic circuit including a year and a half stint hosting the open mic at Milly's Tavern in Manchester, NH. In 2008 guitarist Andrew Watson joined and the sound was transformed from acoustic power pop to fully electric indie rock. After a debut performance at the 2008 Nashua Folk Festival Building James set out to find a bass player to help fill out the sound. Joe Amico joined up in the fall of 2008 and dropped a bomb on the band's sound. The full line up was complete.

In early 2009 Building James kicked into full gear playing venues across southern NH and northern MA. They also released a well received new demo in March of 2009. The song "Still Around" was featured on the "Local Licks" segment on Portsmouth, NH radio station WHEB 100.3 FM on June 2nd. Building James continues to spread their brand of catchy power pop and indie rock across southern NH and northern MA.
