Automatic Theory is a high-energy, three-piece pop/rock band out of the Pacific Northwest, established in 2008. Since then, the band has played over 600 shows, completed three music tours, released two albums Better For The Long While (2008), and Bridge (2009), and built a solid fan base across the Pacific Northwest, Western Region of the United States, and beyond. The band includes Dave Hannon (Tacoma, WA) on guitar/vocals, Steve Albert (Dover, NH) on drums/vocals, and Ian Webb (Ukiah, CA) on bass/vocals.
Over the last two years, the band has gone through a significant musical evolution. Stemming from Daves stint as a solo artist and acoustic beginnings, the band has taken the core of Daves songs and become, well, a band. Under the new banner, the guys of Automatic Theory take their diverse musical influences and backgrounds and fuse them all together to make their own brand of refreshing melodic rock.
Like Weezer, the band brings a punk-rock energy to the stage, with songs that have a strong pop structure in arrangement, along with prominent melodies. The influence that Automatic Theory can agree upon most as a band is Jimmy Eat World. Drum parts are reminiscent of Paramore, Artic Monkeys, and Third Eye Blind, while guitar parts are similar to those of Mae, Jimmy Eat World, Switchfoot, and Weezer. Bass lines reflect those of Jimmy Eat World, Death Cab For Cutie, and Muse. Vocals have been most influenced by Jeff Buckley, Muse, The Beatles, and Ryan Adams.
In late 2011, Automatic Theory stepped into the studio at MountainHouse Recordings in Tacoma, WA to work on their new EP with engineer/producer, Andrew Nalty. Featuring six new tracks, this new body of work represents the exciting new direction for the guys of Automatic Theory. Set for release in April of 2012, with a release party scheduled on April 21st at The Hard Rock Cafe, Seattle, the future looks very bright for these three.
Automatic Theory is one of those musical talents who rolls in, plays a great set, and winds up leaving a line of folks signing their guestbook and wanting a CD. They're good, they craft good songs, and the lyrics are actually worth listening to. Presenters will want to book this band again and again, and their audiences will be very happy for it. I am!
