Founded in 2000 as a three-piece, Bullship’s songs are influenced by the
likes of Talking Heads, Blonde Redhead, Television & Sonic Youth (though
clearly exploring their own sonic territories).
“… With its stuttering percussion, aching vocals, jittery guitars and sweeping
electronic arrangements, things quickly grow moody. The songs continually
juxtapose grandeur and intimate, swelling indie-rock.”
- Courtney Devores (Charlotte Observer)
With 2 studio albums under their independent .wav label & the recent
addition of 2 new members (David Collins & Scott McCannell), Bullship
is currently focusing their efforts on supporting "is/was" through live
performances. Their diverse sound has allowed them to share the stage
with acts ranging from Adam Franklin (Swervedriver) to Benji Hughes
to Don Caballero.
“...Where Okkervil River meets the Pavement. The horn-spiked “You Are a
Song” is sentimental in the best way: all the way. Often called “math rock”
in regional media, Bullship might better be defined by good ol’ addition &
subtraction. Out with the old: the abrasive sharp edges of precocity; in with
the new: experience, and the wisdom to let that bird sing.”
- Timothy C. Davis (Shuffle Magazine)
additional musicians:
Michael Anderson [saxophone] = “You Are A Song”

Vance Carlisle [guitar] = all selections except “Garrison”, [piano] = “You Are A Song”

Today, we invite you to take back the road of the sun during this month of July, so stay awake. Franco Bianco will be passing by with his new Live!+Dj set recorded with the sound of the crowd, at the Klub-D (Nicosia - Cyprus) and he will deliver it in your iPod, Mp3 Player or computer, a live full of Dilek-tation and in good Darek-tion.
Get armed with your sunglasses and open your ears, because there will be dazzles in your sight and amazing sound for the party… The access to this amazing set is limited (only 300 downloads per day) and you don't want to miss this unique opportunity. This set is mastered and available in the best quality, so that you will feel like being right IN the party.
11 shows, 10 cities, 9 hookers, 8 if you only count live ones, 7 people crammed in a 6 passenger van, 5 band members, 4 calling birds, 2,200 miles traveled, 1 smelly band van. Join us!
Hey Bullship, I just got an okay from the slightly deranged manager of The Cranes Are Flying (wait … that’s me :-) to give out a free download of the title track from the upcoming Banging My Head EP. I can’t leave the html link here, but if you’ll drop by my profile you’ll see a grey button link halfway down on the left for “free mp3s on Last.FM” … click that and when you arrive look on the top right for the Banging My Head free download link. I hope you enjoy it … any feedback is welcome. Best of luck with your music, and thanks for the friendship. - Trevor
