..Springtime is Wartime Promote Your Page Too..
___________________________________________________________________________
"In 2004 the Eymann boys embraced Torrance refugee Dave Haq under the moniker Springtime is Wartime. Combining the technical proficiency and nonstandard rhythms of mathrock legends Rodan and Hoover with the concise, focused song structures of the DC scene, Springtime is Wartime stands alone in the Santa Barbara area, and is a rare beast even in the U.S. at large." - D.J. Fat, KCSB ___________________________________________________________________________
"Springtime is Wartime is an unconventional band with a good sense of humor. Their live show is interactive and personal with long sections of intricate intrumental riffs intemixed with vocals. They remind me in part of Schlong from the early 90's (Ex-operation Ivy dudes). I would recommend checking them out!" - Chris Prescott of Pinback, ex The Jade Shader, and ex No Knife ___________________________________________________________________________
"The heaviness of this intricate and yet catchy band is dwarfed only by the epic song composition, in which they deliver so flawlessly." - Joe Haege of 31 Knots ___________________________________________________________________________
"Meet brothers Tim and Josh Eymann, who along with Dave Haq met in 2004 and formed Springtime Is Wartime in an effort to fuse the rhythmic slide of James Brown, the sly style of Thelonius Monk, the latin snap of Tito Puente, and “hammer of the gods” abuse of instruments to create a sound to rumble the kids' bellies. Add lyrics inspired by literature from the Bible to a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, and you have a sound that’s clearly too cool for State Street—as if the guys even wanted to play there." - Rachel Weight, Santa Barbara Independant Staff ___________________________________________________________________________
"...a refined album...Intricate riffs and passages are carefully calculated between funky beats and breakdowns in epic-style songs that seem flawlessly executed live." - By Grant Stevens, Santa Barbara Independant Staff.

Hi, Best wishes on your show! Keep rockin'. Thanks for visiting our site and checking out our music. We appreciate
you being our friend. Below is a picture of a promotional picture that
we used for our "Real Music for Real People" album which we released in
2003. The picture shows my cat, Ernie, who is still around and was
part of the inspiration for the song, "Ernie The Cat", which is on that
album. We have the song, "Drive, She Said", on our MySpace site right
now and it is available for free downloading. Best wishes for a fun
week ahead.
