Formed in the summer of 2004, The Symphony Case is a frothy mixture of individual musical talents and styles, with inspired lyrics that let audiences make their own interpretation. Drawing upon cultural influences such as Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Muse, Bjork and Bach, The Symphony Case (Josh Ricchio - vocals, guitars; John Wilkinson - piano, guitar, synth; Kolby Wade - drums, programming; Megan Leach - viola, strings; Eva Dittrich - Cello) continues to expand their catalogue with new, edgy music balanced with the playability of radio-friendly songs on par with seasoned veterans. While playing clubs around Southern California, they have shared the stage with the likes of Blackpool Lights, Nervous Return and The Vacation.“We want our music to be able to endure the test of time, to last forever and have meaning for people,†says Josh Ricchio, lead vocalist and guitarist for The Symphony Case. “Each song we write is very unexpected…like a mystery with multiple plot twists. By blending strings and electronics, we create intricate melodic lines underneath lyrics you can sing to, but keep the music tasteful and unique.â€Layered, grandiose, and as fresh as anything you'll hear, The Symphony Case debuted their first full-length album, “Cumulusâ€, on August 7th`. “We want people to feel something when they hear our music. Most bands sing about meaningless topics, but our music makes people think and ask questions. I write about philosophy, ideas of reincarnation, and existentialism because music should be a lot more than just a catchy chorus,†Ricchio explains.Check out band pictures at: http://www.restless-souls.com/SymphonyCase.html..

The Symphony Case disbanded in February 2006 after 4 of the members died in a freak gasoline fight accident. They were reincarnated into other bands, which you can now link to in our "Top Friends" list below. Those bands are Ladyop, God Fires Man, and The Ambitious Orchestra. You should like those bands just as much, if not more, even though their bodies are slowly decomposing due to the fact that their reincarnated souls attached onto already dead bodies. It makes no sense to us, either.
