Sounds Like: A sonic swagger of neo-psychedelia fused by a combination of late 60's progressive pop and contemporary alternative/indie/rock with a concious sense of early 90's rave culture. Informed by the best acts of the genre, past and present, The Poppy CoDeans engrave their sound with a well-informed array of guitar-based material complemented by engineered technology and layered with infectious melodies. Their predilection for 60's guitar hooks and rhythmic sensibility of acid house/trance/drum and bass combined with a random and unique variety of style and attitude to their approach, allows the band to transcend their art and take the form to a whole new level, forty years after its inception in '65 San Francisco."Music is the art of thinking with sounds". Jules Combarieu.
