The All Golden is a "indie" rock/pop band with adventurous production from

Kent, Ohio. USA.

THE ALL GOLDEN

The All Golden was formed in Kent, Ohio in October of 1999 in the burgeoning indie-pop scene that spawned notables such as The Party of Helicopters, The Witch Hazel Sound, New Terror Class and Kramies. Chris Sheehan had most recently played in an incarnation of The Witch Hazel Sound in addition to assisting in the engineering of their 1998 critically acclaimed album, "It's All True". Scott Bennett was primarily known as owner of Waterloo Sound Recording and his engineering on albums by Harriet the Spy, The revelers, Gem, The Witch Hazel Sound and many others. Drummer Craig Lisik (Flying Carpet People) joined in early 2000.

Their first release was the fuzzy and driving "Velikovsky" 7" b/w the more sedate "This Guitar's Gone To Heaven" for the resurrected Bubblegum Smile label in March, 2000. The single met with immediate critical acclaim from The New Musical Express and Magnet Magazine and even garnered decent college radio play - including the Steve Lamacq Evening Session on BBC Radio 1 Great Britain.

"A record that chalks the sum of its parts on a blackboard and then proceeds to supersede them with unaffected ease ... 'Velikovsky' is a wind through the hair joyride through space"

- New Musical Express (2/26/00)

" The Ohio duo of Chris Sheehan and Scott Bennett sets the studio aglow with the chugging, Velvet Underground inspired 'Velikovsky'."

- Magnet Magazine (Volume 8, No. 45)

Subsequent touring included stops at New York City's Luna Lounge and Cleveland's Grog Shop. In the Fall of 2000, The All Golden returned to the studio with The Witch Hazel Sound's Kevin Coral to record a full length album.

Yes, Cleveland, Columbus, New York City, Toronto etc. . . wherever someone

will listen really

There are many influences, but I guess some prominent ones would be, The

Velvet Underground, The Smiths, Brian Eno, Bowie, The Beatles etc.
