Abounding with complex rhythms, textured guitar melodies, intertwining harmonies, and atmospheric undertones, San Diego-based Helen Earth Band chase symmetry, pushing moments to their pinnacle, while also using space and restraint to broaden the dynamics within each song. They possess a wealth of experience in the music industry, and have spent countless hours composing a vast trove of material that is adequate to supply album upon album, the first of which is entitled "Our Own Ghost City," released 11/24/2009.
Comprised of brothers Marc and Adam Allen (guitars and vocals), Matt Cronje (drums, samples, vocals), and Trevor Vieweg (bass, height), the quintet creates music that is in turns powerful and ambient, minimal and tastefully complex. Helen Earth Band combines memorable melodies with musical depth to make them a band dear to both the musician and the music listener. Also, two of them are brothers, so if you want them to get that whole Oasis, Gallagher brothers “rivalry thing” going, they can totally do that. With rock culture in it’s current state, it is a rare thing to find a band that takes its craft as seriously as does Helen Earth Band, much less a band with the ability, experience, and integrity to back it up.
