About the Band:

Guitarist/keyboardist Michael Allen Moore is a long-time stalwart of the Detroit progressive rock scene, having recorded and toured in the ‘90’s with House of Usher and leading his own band Tin Scribble. He holds a degree in music from Wayne State University where he developed his skills in a wide range of settings including theater, dance, and world music. Michael’s home studio is the center of activity for BTT for writing, rehearsals, and recording. His energy and commitment to the band have been key to BTT’s success.

Vocalist Danny Grimm has performed with countless rock bands around Detroit for decades. He is a regular member of Detroit rock staples Frijid Pink and Mob Opera, filling bass and vocal roles in those bands. Belling The Tiger was Danny’s brainstorm, and his melodic instincts are a key component in the band’s compositional process and sound.

Drummer / percussionist Duane Harvey is a veteran of the Detroit and Chicago original music scenes but has been away from the professional music world for several years. Duane holds a Bachelor of Music from Wayne State University and has deep roots in jazz, classical, and a wide range of commercial music but has relatively little background in original rock. His work with BTT draws on all his musical background and has expanded it with the addition of electronics to his drum kit. You can learn more about dh (and hear more of his music) at his personal website, duaneharvey.net

•Bassist Andrew Harvey is a veteran of the no-wave and black metal scenes around the Detroit Area, having recorded as An Angel Submerged, Wraith, Anteomedroma, and as half of the duo Gossamer. Andrew grew up in a musical household (Duane is his father) and displayed strong musical talent from an early age. He plays several instruments in other projects but is focused on the bass with BTT.

•Guitarist/keyboardist Michael Johnstone has been playing guitar since 2011, covering a wide range of music from classical to jazz and rock . A graduate of Eastern Michigan University's music program, Michael plays regularly with multiple theater groups around the Detroit area. BTT marks Mike's first foray into original rock.

Together, Belling The Tiger plays melodic progressive rock that draws from myriad forms of music, including jazz, classical, and an eclectic mix of folk traditions from around the world. The band is firmly in the "prog" tradition without sounding like any other band you've heard before.

Collectively written by all four band members, the ten original songs explore a variety of topics that include fresh starts, love, integrity, innocence, adventure, diversity and peace, the life cycle and its inherent responsibilities, courage, masked deceptions, revolution, and truth. Blending rock, soul and blues, Jake’s blazing guitar riffs, Josh’s soaring, powerful vocals, Danny’s thunderous drums, and Sam’s swaggering baselines and keys create a menagerie of musical elements throughout.

SW/MM/NG DEBUT: FEEL NOT BAD ON OLD FLAME RECORDS

 WE LOVE THESE GUYS!

On August 29th, the Fayetteville, AR quintet SW/MM/NG will release their long-awaited full length debut Feel Not Bad on Old Flame Records.

Consequence of Sound premiered the album's lead single single "Some Dreams Come True" and said SW/MM/NG "craft bright guitar pop with pessimistic wit." The track is also available to stream and embed via Soundcloud.

“It’s inspired by 1930’s vocal jazz songs that dealt with love and longing and the timeless quality of the two, but considered within the scope of indie rock,” frontman Brian Kupillas said of the track. “The themes, which by today’s standards are considered simple, are backed by equally simple, traditional chord progressions. The song is a throwback to a time in which sentimentalism and romanticism were much more fluent in the culture.”

SW/MM/NG is Brian Kupillas (vocal, guitar), Jared Hennessy (guitar), Joel Paul (bass), Jack Lloyd (keyboards), and JD Paul (drums). The group, who have been favorably compared to a broad array of textured tunesmiths like The Cure, The Smiths, Real Estate, and Caveman, have garnered critical attention from NPR, NME, The New York Times, The Wild Honey Pie, and Wondering Sound.

Following the digital release of three two-song singles and more than three years on the road, SW/MM/NG are set to release their trim but expansive eight-song full length. The album title, inspired by M. Pirsig’s Zen and the Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance, encapsulates the record's distinctive mix of sincerity and barbed wit. “What struck me about the phrase is that it was almost like a pessimist’s way of saying ‘feel good,’” Kupillas says with a good-natured laugh.

The shimmering “We Do It All The Time” is a snapshot of an ice storm that hit the band’s hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas one winter day. Instead of the paralyzing the town, the storm inspired the town to threw house parties and embrace the break in convention to enjoy the city and share in good times with neighbors. The soaring “Younger” epitomizes SW/MM/NG’s acerbic wit by being an “anti cult of youth summer song hidden within a cult of youth summer song.”

For SW/MM/NG, the true meaning of the music is the live connection. That’s something Kupillas is most proud of, and recalling the band’s second appearance at the Treefort Music Festival, he says: “The most recent time we played, it was like playing to a hometown crowd only these people were strangers. Hearing them sing along was so gratifying, it just affirmed everything we had done up to that point."
