About Me


Bel Auburn is an indie rock band from Mid-Ohio.
We've been playing together for four years.
The band consists of Scott, who plays the telecaster and sings the most; Mark, who plays the drums and sings the second most; Jared, who writes all the lyrics and makes noise with his guitar; Justin, who plays the rhodes piano and has a laptop; and Mark Abrams, who brings the big beats and plays bass, more synth than guitar, and helps us work the rest of our instruments.
As far as the mission of the band goes, here's what we are about: We try to write good songs, and then play out as much as we can and sing them for good people. No frills, no ego, no hyperbole. Just a show and some songs that we hope you enjoy.
We'd like to thank you for listening.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 06/08/2004
Band Website: http://www.belauburn.com
Band Members: Scott, Mark, Mark, Justin, & Jared
Influences:
The bands we've stolen the most from:
The Appleseed Cast, Bloomsday, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Flaming Lips, The Notwist, My Bloody Valentine, & Sigur Ros.
Bands we are currently listening to:
Band of Horses, Sufjan Stevens, Al Green's greatest hits, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Arcade Fire, Built to Spill, Les Savy Fav, Kanye, Ryan Adams, and a bunch of others that we only listen to in secret. :)
Jobs we would someday enjoy having:
Jelly bean flavor inventor. Barka-lounger tester. Couch-cushion/blanket fort architect. Professional spitter.
Fun fact that may or may not be a fact at all but seems at least mildly plausible:
Our town has more cows than people, which makes for a strange mayorial election season.
Ironically, the people we dislike the most would be those who fall into this category:
Haters (player- or otherwise).
Sounds Like: Imagine your favorite pop song as a beanbag chair. Got the image? Now, imagine someone dropping a very small anvil on said chair. That's pretty much what we sound like.
Record Label: THE Damselfly Records
