BANTER is a band which combines modern and classic rock sounds in most refreshing ways.
Banter rocked the clubs and airwaves of the Northeast United States from 1996-2004 with a catalog of songs infusing everything from folk and punk and Arabian drones into a unique brand of rock that defies classification (OK, fine, call them alt rock if you must). Their lyrics range from musical paintings of places that have affected their lives (and ours), as found in songs like "The Fort," "Springtime in February" and "Three Weeks," to themes of angst and paranoia as tackled in "Lowered" and "Farewell." Their CDs, which include the highly acclaimed EP and their full-length album , brought the group international attention with reviews in places as remote as Bryansk, Russia and chart success in France. BANTER has performed throughout the Northeast United States from New York to New Hampshire and has championed the New England media from magazines to TV.

Lyrics
Metaphysics words and music by Dan Sheehan Does time stand still if there's nothing to perceive it? Does the truth have any meaning if we refuse to believe it? Can reality be escaped if we try to deceive it? Can the message get across if we will to receive it? I had a dream - She was standing by the shore Just a dream - But it somehow felt like more And she took me by the hand and she led me to a path I asked here where it led but she just looked at me and laughed And said, "Does time stand still if there's nothing to perceive it? Does the truth have any meaning if we refuse to believe it? Can reality be escaped if we try to deceive it?" Will the pain ever go away without her to relieve it? I found myself in another dimension All by myself with no cause for pretension And I gazed into the void and surrendered all my tension With logic unemployed the laws abandoned all convention And I wondered, "Does time stand still if there's nothing to perceive it? Does the truth have any meaning if we refuse to believe it? Can reality be escaped if we try to deceive it?" Can nirvana be attained if we try to achieve it? I reach deep inside myself to place the meaning Engaging in thoughts and behavior that seem so demeaning I try to escape from the trap of my mind's own inventions Results never fail to fail to match my initial intentions I try to find my way out but I find myself lost I call out for help but into the fray I am tossed
