Release Notes:
People Noise is a name that constitutes sound, and a lot of it. They began
making music in early January of 2006 after a ten year involvement with VHS or
Beta came to a halt. One of the founding members of VoB, Zeke Buck, together
with Matt Johnson on drums, have set out to do some of the things that they were
never really able to do before in past groups. There is a very human and
somewhat introverted playfulness that appears on songs like 'A Million Lives' &
æThe Sun & The Moon, The Moon & The SeaÆ. Desperate and spirited Aphex Twin like
moments which at very times breaks in an external guitar driven frenzy. It gives
quick glimpse to some of the earlier songs on their upcoming album (songs like
'Sedation', and 'Harrison Bergeron'). Their range recalls some of the earlier
alternative rock days of bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana & Radiohead, yet
still birthing a sincerity and un-retro quality altogether its own. It shows an
interesting voice of internal & external relationships, revealing a dynamic of
textures and color not found on many albums today. "We want to make a record
that is altogether more human. Something that is at times awkward and stumbling,
and at other times, alive with a determined ambition." The result is an
expedition into sound and self. A rock band like few others. Stay tuned to their
site, and watch a band surely poised to take off.
VHS Or Boom Bip
People Noise, formed by former VHS or Beta guitarist Zeke Buck and Boom Bip's
Matt Johnson, will make their recording debut with the June release of Ordinary
Ghosts. Citing influences from Black Sabbath to Bj÷rk, the Louisville, Kentucky
band are currently underway with a nationwide tour - People Noise might be
described as the gap between Alice in Chains and Radiohead plus a little
something extra. - Sarah Sullivan, Eureka Times Standard
Remember VHS or Beta? Well Zeke Buck, along with Matt Johnson on drums have a
new band called People Noise. These guys are sure to be big so make sure you
check them out while theyÆre still growing. - Key Club Hollywood, CA
Their new sound is a shoegavey-reverb-heavy-fuzzout. It's very Smashing
Pumpkins, Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine-esque. - Dodge, My Old
