Solar Powered People is a four piece rock/shoegaze band from the Central
Valley of California. Emerging from a previous band, Apollo Trigger, Ryan
Coscia, Doug McKinnon, and Tony Pennington created the solid foundation that
is now Solar Powered People over three years ago.
Dustin Morris was added into the fold within the last year and has helped the
band reach the perfect blend of atmosphere and rock. Fresh from recording
their second full-length, Living Through the Low, Solar Powered People are
poised to launch into a bright future that should eclipse their already well
accomplished past.
At a live Solar Powered People show, the audience can expect an experience
similar to receiving a hug from a friendly grizzly bear. The sound the band
produces is enveloping, warm and powerful with just enough grit to leave a few
claw marks. Some of the songs cut through the atmosphere with pace and power,
while others sweep and swirl, wrapping the listener into a haze of sound.
The various levels of volume, pace and space are anchored by two consistent
elements. The always-solid rhythm section provided by Coscia and McKinnon give
every song a sturdy backbone. CosciaÆs powerful drumming and McKinnonÆs
tasteful bass lines are the rails on which each song can successfully roll
from.
The second consistent element is the melodic hooks layered into the guitars.
There are no pointless notes in MorrisÆ or PenningtonÆs guitar lines. The
weaving of guitar parts gives the listener many layers to uncover while
listening.
