Dept of Energy: General Info

Member Since	12/9/2005
Band Website	www.dept-of-energy.com
Band Members	Robb Benson singer/songwriter on guitar. Cassady Laton drummer. Ty Bailie Hammond Organ, keyboards
Sounds Like	Dept. of Energy Biography: In this day and age of reality music shows dictating who the real talent is and who we should all listen to (come on…we’ve all seen at least one episode of America’s Next Top Whatever), it has become increasingly rare to find a band striving to create a complete album of substance rather than just one hit song. There was a time and place where record labels wanted bands to build and create lasting music…to grow from one recording to the next…to improve as musicians and performers. Dept. of Energy’s second full length release “Faster” is a clear example that this belief still exists. "Faster" is a remarkable album created with urgency and passion that touches on subjects of love, loss, and the importance of truth. The songs can easily be classified individually as progressive pop masterpieces, however the real strength comes in the form of the album as a whole. “Faster” as a complete work combines unquestionable songwriting ability with indisputable musicianship and forces listeners to take notice to the fact that Dept. of Energy is more than just a band out of Seattle…they are a great band out of Seattle. Turn it on, turn it up. “Faster” will be released in January of 2009 on Roam Records. Dept. of Energy: Robb Benson- Guitar/ Vocals Ty Bailie- Keyboards/ Organ Cassady Laton- Drums

PranaBoy Cosmyc Fashyon	May 7 2009 4:19 PM .. ..I belief in artgeneering... the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him- translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way of using language... the way of light and color... without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes... to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way... natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored... awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe... to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying times, that keep us away from our natural mission... to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace... we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness, to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-) .. ..www.pranaboy.de www.artgeneering.com www.pranaboy.com Have a cosmyc day, all the best and lots of energies for all your future projects Greetings from Cologne, Sven .. ..

NATHAN	Jan 23 2009 3:57 AM Thanks for the music.....Ive been looking for some pure music
Emerald Forest Productions	Jan 22 2009 5:32 PM Sounds Great Rob! I'm working with a new band. Here's a rough cut video. We're hoping to be gigging soon. How's your festival season looking? I'm doing sound for the Tulip Festival Street Fair in April, I'll put in a good word for you if they're not already all booked up. (If you're interested that is).

Kelly	Sep 16 2008 2:36 PM Robb, I love the new songs. All the slide guitar work reminds me of the days when we used to sit in the basement of the Wallingford house and listen to There's Nothing Wrong With Love and hope someday we could make a record that good. Sounds like you might have just done it. Kelly
James' Perpetual Notion	Sep 12 2008 3:53 AM The new stuff sounds great! The chorus in 7/8 on Empty Enemies is a barbed hook that doesn't let go. Its not easy to work odd time into pop songs (I know), but you nailed it.
20 Minute Loop	Sep 8 2008 8:54 PM sounds great Robb... best, Nils
The Wellingtons	Sep 7 2008 5:03 AM Hey! We’re coming all the way from Australia to play Japan, U.K Spain and The U.S. We’d love to see you at a show or two! Power Pop for fans of Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, Elvis Costello & Cheap Trick. All the best Love the Wellingtons
James' Perpetual Notion	Sep 4 2008 9:04 PM I can't wait for the new album! Any previews on the horizon?
