Okay... I'm the first to pimp my band. Shameless, I know, but I enjoy this site and i hope that some of you enjoy some new music...

So the band is Colonies, we are from Seattle/Tacoma, WA.  Here's a bit of a bio:

Colonies has created a series of songs that deal with geography and history as much as they deal with relationships. Berlin, Argentina and the mountains of Idaho set the stage for stories that deal with the familiar themes of love, war and change.

From the local paper:

"Colonies combines intelligence and ambience. Gentle keys and samples flavor heavy, bombastic percussion...ethereal vocals float above the band's instrumentals. Crystal-clear guitar work cuts through the haunting, atmospheric quality of Colonies' songs, and the band somehow remains sonically captivating even in tense moments of quiet noise."
