Stop Animation
Good rock 'n roll tunes with jazzy undertones.
Opening track on our EP and the first song we wrote as a band.
"If The Accident Will" is an Alternative track by Stop Animation on SoundClick. It provides textures that deepen the overall emotional resonance. This is a remarkable offering in this genre from this independent artist. "If The Accident Will" is part of the Stop Animation catalog on SoundClick, where independent artists connect with a global audience.
We are a couple of fellows who enjoy music and like to make it ourselves whenever possible. Though there are thousands of miles between us for 8 months out of the year, we continue to send each other songs via "Internet" and compose our parts individually.
Our history has been complicated, though hardly interesting. We've been playing music collectively since 1999. Jazz band, past friendships, and shared musical interests brought us together. We played all over town and were booed by many an angsty would-be punk rocker. However, just when we began to write songs that didn't suck, we decided to "take a break" and our guitarist joined the popular alternative rock band Kaddisfly. Reforming in 2003 as Stop Animation, we wrote a fresh crop of songs, recruited Dylan Girard to play trumpet, and recorded several of them for the EP "Sun : Shine :: Red : Wine". Afterwards, Nick and Andrew left for college to pursue careers as corporate assholes.
A few small venues in Bend, the Paintshop and the Sons Of Norway Hall. Playing live is a kick in the pants, though it is not what I would call our area of expertise.
Now that would be giving away all of our secrets, wouldn't it?
