Self Destructing Messengers is an indie rock duo that formed in 2006. They get their name from a dream that lead vocalist Philonious had a few months prior to the bands formation. Their musical genre has often been classified as indie rock, but the band sites many different influences with a range of styles. Influences range from Pixies to Nick Drake to more modern bands like Radiohead, Strokes and Cheap Trick. The lyrics often focus on brooding concepts of politics or spaced out stories of love. The sound they create is swirling and hypnotic.
The band is currently working on their first self-released album tentatively named A Subtle Change. They are in search of a drummer and a bassist to complete their lineup with plans of taking to the road mid to late summer. STAY TUNED FOR MUSIC UPDATES!
Planting Stars: Musical Composition by Art Atkins and Philonious.
