About Me

Brilliant Absence is band from southern California that has enjoyed the fruits of being able to play with a lot of great bands like Telecast, Kids in the Way, Northern, and One Thousand Pictures. The band has been together now for a year and half. Everyone in the band came from different backgrounds and influences that are all over the map. Jeff Mossa(Drummer) came from the 90's punk scene and has played on the same stage with bands like Green Day, Face to Face, and Sublime to name a few. Karl(Lead Guitar) came from a metal rock background and was in numerous bands before this one. Romulo's(singer) background in music is through church worship and cites bands like Oasis and U2 as major influences. Paul(Bass) has been in numerous bands with music ranging from punk, post-hardcore, reggae, and classic rock. The only thing that keeps this band together is they're love for music despite full time jobs, marriages, and kids. The music of Brilliant Absence is inspired mainly from Brittish Rock influences like Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Keane, Coldplay, and Oasis. The band's view is not to chase our tails to find an empty dream of rock stardom but rather to continually write and create songs that are timeless and can connect on with people. The band never wants to stay where they are but rather to continue to grow and find they're own place in southern california and maybe beyond.
