Bio
Welcome to our MySpace site. .. Thanks for visiting and please subscribe to our blog for updates and information about the songs and the band. .. .. After playing local venues in Portland, Oregon for two years, the Antecedents emerged from their cold, damp warehouse practice space and recorded their debut album, “Letters from Rome,” released in May, 2007. The album has received an enthusiastic response including local and national radio exposure. The Antecedents pride themselves on creating music that is diverse and distinct, and that tries to make sense of inner struggles and the outside world. .. .. .. .. ..NPR's Open Mic states:.. .... " ...well conceived guitar-pop with tinges of classical violin, piano, and traditional Americana folk. ...potent, witty lyrics are showcased...cleverly frank and intentionally brash." National Public Radio, Open Mic .. .......... .......... .... .. .. ....
