The Definite Articles are an orchestral rock project based in San Francisco, CA. Starting as a more string-based rock project, the band released the Boy Wonder EP in 2008. Since then, the scope of the arrangements has expanded to include woodwinds and horns as well as piano and guitar. Their first full-length to showcase these additions, King Merriweather, was recorded at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone studio with the help of 30 musicians. It was released on November 19th, 2010.
The Ross Sea Party is a typically unusual Los Angeles family. Five friends who wanted to transcend the disconnected and nonsensical nature of life in the city and create something consequential, the band built a home with hollow-body guitars, well-tuned drums, and a glockenspiel. Like its namesake, a little known yet heroic wing of Ernest Shackleton's famed 1914 Trans-Antarctic Expedition, the band can be characterized by their easy navigation across an ever-changing atmosphere.
