The Liquid Now

About Me

www.theliquidnow.com - The Liquid Now are a Seattle-based indie group with a passion for creating melodic, beautifully crafted songs. Their writing style spans a broad emotional range that mirrors the fleeting and bittersweet human condition. Their sound flows naturally from the menacing 'Gigantic' to the dancy melancholy of 'Night Life', to an obituary like 'Gone Away'. Make sure to get a copy of your CD at CDBABY.com
