Seeking to inspire as they have been inspired, pop/rock band ide give you reason to believe, yet leave you with something to contemplate. Their music may provide hints of past influences and glimpses of future innovation, but it is clearly about the here and now.
Formed of brothers Layne (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and Landon (guitar, bass, vocals)[Detroit MI] along with Mark Niemiec (drums, programming)[Portland ME], this now Nashville-based outfit maintains a well-crafted blend of stateside grit and Britrock flavour.
Armed with a catalog of songs that will invoke both a deep introspection and a melodic joy, ide will give you the fulfillment many claim to impart, but which few truly deliver.

As with their previous release 'apologies for spilling paint,' ide brings their distinctly American take on the best Brit/Pop has to offer, but takes it even further on 2008's 'a clear light.' This 3-piece blazes a recorded and live sound that feels more like 12 people on stage than a trio. Sometimes driving, sometimes ambient guitars, beautiful vocals and a back beat laced with electronica and loops, woven together with catchy, melodic keyboards. If Muse, Keane and The Killers had a slumber party, this could be the mix tape.
