The Band
d.biddle began when Duncan Barlow (Endpoint, Guilt, and By the Grace of God) decided to record a few acoustic songs, but over time the project slowly developed into a rock band that gained the reputation as the best live band in Denver, Colorado. There were a few incarnations on the road to the current band, which enlists music veterans Johnathan Till (Hearts of Palm and Roper), Jeff Davenport (Meese, Porlolo, and Dust on the Breakers), and Drew Burleson (Lion Sized and the Symptoms).
2008 brings about the bands long awaited third release "Rabbit and the Moon," which was recorded with Colin Bricker (Devotchka and The Czars) Spending well over a year on the recording, (throwing out two previously mixed versions in the process). The songs are compelling, at times bordering epic, and ask for an active engagement with their listeners. d.biddle is currently preparing to embark on a U.S. tour to support the record.
BEST LIVE BAND (2008) - Westword The outfit's mixture of brooding atmosphere and fiery emotions makes for one of the scene's most impressive and inspiring performances.
Live Reviews My soul was cleansed by the redeeming power of d. biddle, whose set could not have been more purely soulful.The quartet...used its subtle strength and considerable fervor to transform Barlow’s gutsy Gothic folk songs into entrancing anvils of rock-solid angst. d. biddle used the inherent spectacle of the evening to turn their performance into an intensely memorable and cathartic experience.
-- Eric Eyl (Westword)
(The) group frequently tore through songs with an energy reserved for bitter punk. But the stop-start dynamics and attention to muted guitar chords, bottomless bass notes and razor-sharp rhythms accentuated songs...far better than a full-bore scream. That...sums what's so great about D. Biddle - the delicate, sinister interplay of spidery melodies and majestic bridges.
-- John Wenzel (Denver Post)
