The Singularities are simply about two guys who love music. Histories, former bands, record labels, and everything else are all there, but the important thing is the love of music.

We mix live instruments with computers now where we use to make it with just guitars, bass, and drums, but the reason is still the same. It's a fact that Kent and I would be making up songs regardless. It's not about anything else other than the bug that caught us both when we were young, and for different reasons.

We make happy songs, aggressive songs, depressing songs, and soppy/sentimental songs too. The songs are just a filter we can make to see life through. Good luck boxing it all together in a neat little package, we certainly can't.

Our self titled debut album is currently on sale at www.thesingularities.com!!!(it will also be available soon at itunes, rhapsody, napster, and other internet retailers)

...above all...

THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!
Why this name?
There are too many reasons to list and I like keeping it a mystery. I guess I feel like your interpretation of why I call my band The Singularities is probably better than mine.
Do you play live?
Not recently as we are currently recording a new album.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Exponentially. If it weren't for the internet these songs would not get heard without big money backing, period.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It would depend on the offer and how much control I could have. These days a distribution deal is much more realistic as home recording studios allow us to have the sound that only huge proffesional studios and engineers/producers could offer in the past.
Your influences?
Bill- Radiohead, Blur, Damon Albarn, Pavement, Gorillaz, Dave Eggers, Spiritualized, Noam Chomsky, Chuck Palahniuk, Nas, The Police, Lupe Fiasco, Sonic Youth Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Dust Brothers, John Lennon, The Beatles, Bjork, Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, George Lucas, just a few...basically anyone whose made something that I have identified with in a meaningful way and that made me want to create something in turn...

Kent- television, religion, literature, attractive asian women swinging on a rusty swing set in the middle of a winter rain storm humming the theme song to "the love boat" while wearing a chicken outfit, alcohol, the fact that i can die, the fact that i am alive, every concert i see that makes me look up on that stage and wish that i was them, food that tastes good... like rice crispy treats, vinyl records, mp3s, cassettes, 8-tracks, cds, the sound of my turn signal "click, click, clicking" as i wait for the light to change, sex, clouds, humans, animals, and the atari 2600 that sits at the bottom of my entertainment center and quietly symbolizes the simplicity of my childhood and the complexity of my adulthood.

Favorite spot?
2 answers...New Jersey and Hawaii because if I didn't mention both I would be killed.
