Influences: Anthony makes up his lyrics and melodies on the spot and he is Peace Attacks singer. His primary musical influences are Springsteen, Seger, Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLaughlin, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, Jim Morrison, Van Morrison, and Dolly Parton. His inspiration for lyrics comes from current events, collective inspiration, the act of relating, and the act of doing. He is interested in the Pentecostals, as his singing voice and lyrical purge is much like their speaking in tongues. He sometimes thinks of Kurt & Courtney and their influence on his generation.

Bobby isnt into confessional songwriting as much as Anthony. He likes to express himself through the aesthetic nature of sound waves. Some of Bobby's guitar heroes are Neil Young, Brian May, Stephen Malkmus, Doug Martsch, Jon Brion, and Willie Nelson. He reveres producer/songwriters Jim ORourke, Jon Brion, Brian Eno, and Burt Bacharach. He listens to many genres of music, his favorites being indie rock, art rock, jazz, hip hop, and classic country. Visit
Bobby's music production page .

Sounds Like: Unrehearsed, unwritten music. First take only.

Bass, percussion, SFX, etc., were added to Without A Trace (Starichok) and Aeroplane in post-production, but staying true to the Peace Attack way all passes were first take only.
Record Label: Peace Ataq Records
Type of Label: Indie

"Loch Ness Monster"

"United We Stand Divided We Fall"

Peace asked me what "United We Stand Divided We Fall' meant. He said it was sort of vague. I thought that was the perfect answer. The term itself "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" is vague although i...
