The Recliners is a ska band straight out of Redmond, Washington. Check 'em out at their shows, you'll have a lot of fun!
Why this name?
There is no story behind our name. I guess we're lazy when we're not playing shows...
Do you play live?
We play live whenever we can, usually at Ground Zero in Bellevue. We love it, and one of our favorite moments was playing with The Ted Dancin' Machine at Earthriver Records in Seattle.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet mp3 industry makes it easier for bands to promote their music at places other than shows and to their friends.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, we would, because it would help us get our music to an even bigger crowd!
Band History:
Beginning in the summer of 2002, The Recliners began as a 4 piece ska band, with one trombone. Soon they got a trumpet player and started playing around their school whenever they could. Not too long after that, they got a saxaphone player, but he couldnt play with them for too long. After 6 months as a 5 piece, they have just recently gotten a new saxaphone player, and have begun to record their debut EP, "Shut Up and Dance"
Your influences?
SKA!!! We like the music of Reel Big Fish, Jeffries Fan Club, Less Than Jake, The Rx Bandits, Five Iron Frenzy, Suburban Legends, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Mad Caddies, and many more. Definitly big fans of horns.
