"Portland’s best post-instrumental rockers...succeeds not because of its resemblance to similar instrumental acts.. but instead in how it differentiates"-Michael Mannheimer, Willamette Weekly
"I was surprised at the power behind the group before me, adding to it a strong stage presence and friendly after the show demeanor"-Fensepost.com
Aristeia formed in November 2005 and has since grown into one of the most exciting rock bands in the Portland music scene. Since their inception they have released four records to stellar reviews by numerous online and print publications, completed three full west coast tours, creating an ever-increasing fan base.
Having recently shared the stage with indie heavyweights like Tokyo Police Club, Unwed Sailor, White Rabbits, Bedhead, From Monument To Masses, Sea and Cake, Asobi Seksu, Git Some, Junuis, and being the only band to play CD Baby.com’s 10 year anniversary party, Aristeia is making its presence felt.
The last few months have seen the boys complete two west coast tours in 6 months including several SXSW showcases, garnering them both local and national attention. This winter they hit Portlands legendary Jackpot studios to team up with producer Brandon Eggelston to work on a upcoming full length.
"The finest moments for Aristeia are those when the band loses itself in an expansive meandering periods of instrumental noise. An epic rise and fall of notes that makes Explosions in the Sky look like a bunch of Texas bedwetters. It's a safe assumption these boys can throw down" Portland Mercury!!!
