"Alarm Bell City has as many peaks as the Cascades and just as many reasons to keep going back." --Shawn Telford, Seattle Sound
"...the style of rock you hear more often from across the pond than around the Sound" --Mike Mess, Three Imaginary Girls
"Sometimes a band can really surprise you. After you do this long enough, you pretty much know what to expect. When you hear a specific influence listed in a band's bio, you can almost guess what their album sounds like. Well, I have finally found a band who broke that mold." --Joe Casillo, Instrumental Analysis
Luke Houglum (singer, multi-instrumentalist) and Ian Shuler (drummer, writer) met in Bellingham, WA, where they spent several years playing together and with good friends (see: Asthmaboy). Their love for Brit-rock and Motown culminated in heavy use of a free organ, tossed in with their player piano. Inspired by the vintage sounds of the organ, they ditched the piano and headed to Seattle, where they joined forces with bassist Eric Sullivan and guitarist/organist Nick Fulwiler.
