"A cage match between Pharaoh Sanders and Hank Williams."
-Philadelphia City Paper
“Circles has born into this world yet another paradoxical archetype of Philadelphia rock music: a band playing riffed-out bar rock for kids that listen to Ornette Coleman.”
-artnoise
“Circles have managed to create something … that so many have tried to create and so few have actually managed.” –scenepointblank.com
“…an extremely intriguing sound, offering the possibility of a new branch from the long and winding body of country and folk music, one that incorporates new sounds and textures from genres far removed from the country idiom.” – one true dead angel
“If you look up alternative in the dictionary there should be a picture of these guys.” –earcandymag.com
Circles is a Philadelphia band that plays music influenced by Hank Williams, Albert Ayler, roots, percussion, and the pentatonic scale. The band’s current membership includes guitarist/vocalist Nick Millevoi, pianist Pete Curry, bassist Colin Smith, and drummers Robert Ludington and Julius Masri. The music of Circles can be/has been heard on WPRB, WKDU, and Jon Solomon’s Local Support podcast. Circles plays around Philadelphia and has toured the Northeast and Midwest, along the way, the band has shared bills with many great bands, including Dirty Projectors, O’Death, Dan Friel (Parts & Labor), and the Notekillers. The band’s first album, When the Big River Floods has been re-released by Summersteps Records after selling out its original pressing on Well Below Records. In the spring of 2008, Wooden Man records released Weighs A Ton, available here.
Here's what Wooden Man Records says about our album:
Circles's first release on WM is a full-length montage. This sounds like a travelogue written by someone with multiple degrees in the humanities. The poppy parts hook you and the jazzy parts wow you and the country 7 chords make you feel like you're eating mashed potatoes. Recommended for fans of good stuff.
hey so we're back again with new members and completely new songs. It would be cool if you could check out our page and let us know what you think, even if you don't think anything of it. We have all the info on what's been happening in our new blog. We are playing shows again so come see one and come talk to us. -and again sorry for commenting like this. thanks american art

Welcome to Billy's Bunker (Music Reviews)! It's been busy in the Bunker.
The latest review is Adrian Belew's "Side Two," which CD is good evidence that brother Adrian has become a full bodied 21st Century composer with a syntax of instrumental meaning from the chrysalis of Nuevo Metal born.
