Signal Room is a rock band with eclectic influences resulting in a sound ranging from hard edge to pure guitar pop. The group was formed during the filming of the cult science fiction television series "Farscape". Actor, Anthony Simcoe (Steve - "ideas man" Kerrigan of "The Castle"), one of the lead cast members of the series and guitarist Stephen Edwards started working on Simcoe's songs mid 2001. They were later joined by another lead actor from Farscape, Wayne Pygram on drums. Bass guitarist Gerry Kortegast, (Roadside Prophets, Vindaloonies) completed the lin up.
Not long after the group had started work on material for a live set, Farscape fans invited the band to play in the United States. In 2002 the group plated in Los Angeles and sold out of a short run of demo EP's recorded prior to the trip. After the success of this trip the band became the topic of fan web sites and as the show has a cult following in the U.S. and Europe, it wasn't long before Signal Room had it's own fan base. Again the group was invited to play in the U.S. So after working on new material and recording a new EP, the band returned to play gigs in Los Angeles and New York during November 2004.
For the latest self funded offering the band had the good fortune to enlist the talents of Producer/Engineer Tim Whitten (Powderfinger, 78 Saab, Hoodo Gurus and The Church) to produce these six tunes.
