Influences"The possibility that a black hole eats up the Earth is too serious a threat to leave it as a matter of argument among crackpots," -- Michelangelo Mangano
Sounds Like"If the Philly band scene was a high school, Seizure 17 would be the artsy bad asses who got in trouble for starting fires and creating abstract art protesting the man."

-Philly Style Magazine

"a mind-bending and scorching tour de force of ingenuity, energy and straight-up rock 'n' roll goodness...a no-holds-barred display of musical ambition and risk-taking — something far too rare these days."

-Music Row

"Artistic shows that go beyond the ordinary concert"

-The Local Music Compendium

"Somewhere between the Stooges, Nirvana and Lou Reed, it’s short, stripped down, guitar-driven music that sounds tailor-made to run from the law with. The minimalism of the sound and structure works well with the feeling of simmering violence that seems to infuse all four of the album’s tracks."

-The Spill Magazine

"Seizure 17 is a completely innnovative post-grunge experimental psuedo-duo. Though they site the Smashing Pumpkins and The Stooges as their influences, the record draws comparison to progressive motor city bands such as Demolition Doll Rods, Funger, and, yes, White Stripes. Exciting, edgy and intelligent, Seizure 17 deserves all the attention they can get."

-Origivation Magazine

"Incredibly Ballsy"

-Pittsburgh City Paper

   About Seizure 17
Music that is safe. Music that is comfortable. Music that doesn't want you to think. Happy music. Catchy, reliable music that you can play in your cubicle and hum around the office all day. Music that your parents will like. Music that helps you smile, even when you don't mean it, so that you don't have to face the pain in your stomach, the thoughts of suicide, or the growing addiction to quiet pills. Music that doesn't need to be turned loud. It won't offend your neighbors. It is normal music. Easy music; everything is fine music, and aren't you glad to be fine, just the same as everybody else, wearing the same clothes, living in identical houses with the same spoiled children in identical, isolated non-communities, working the same hours at the same pointless jobs, popping the same pills and watching the same television. ISN"T THIS NICE?!!! Isn't it great that we're all the same, that I can't tell my life from yours or anyones. Aren't you happy to be so meaningless. Aren't you proud? This music is for you and you don't even have to listen to it.

Our New Set: Such A Bright Future premiers Dec. 9 at the Tritone with live video animation and 17 new songs. 9:00pm $6.
