We are most often compared to Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley and Muse... I didn't know any of these artists until people compared us to them... and then Radiohead and U2. I take those comparisons as a compliment, though I don't always see it.
Formed in late 2003, The Invasion has steadily been trudging into the Northwest music scene. One of a handful of bands to play with The Pixies on their 2004 reunion tour, The Invasion has consistently received acclaim from press and audiences alike. Drawing from classical, folk, and jazz influences, The Invasion plays a well rounded and unique brand of indie rock.
Hey thanks for the kind words and comments. I just wanted to let you know that we have new music on the way, and that we are in a battle of the bands next week. So if you are in Utah, come check us out (details on our page), and we will be giving away free cd's from our upcoming FIRST ALBUM, "Dissapointment is control." Thanks for all the support, and the new music will be up soon, so stay posted.
