Your Cannons

Ethereal Rock From Just Over A Big Sky's Horizon
**********
Your Cannons are a rock band from San Francisco. Influenced by shoegaze, space-rock, psychedelica and post-rock, their songs are built on a dynamic three guitar attack, layered with vocal melodies, and heavy with distortion and effects. They have fast become one of San Francisco's 'must see' acts.

Your Cannons formed in San Francisco in late 2008, and started playing around the Bay Area in early 2009. The members originally hail from different bands in England, Sweden, and the US, but came together under a mutual love of early Verve and Mogwai, and a desire to craft guitar music that was intricate, powerful and emotive.

With a range of influences from Spiritualized to Dinosaur Jr, Your Cannons’ music has been described as having, ‘an otherworldly sound,’ like, ‘a slow-motion mosh in a room filled with red strobe lights.’

They recently released their debut recording, the Dust Bowl EP, through iTunes and Amazon, to critical acclaim, and are rapidly building loyal following through regular shows in and around the Bay Area.

Your Cannons won The Deli SF website Band of The Month award in December 2009.

What they're saying about Your Cannons and their debut EP Dust Bowl:

"There’s an otherworldly element in their sound, perhaps due to their alien lifestyle as non-Americans in America. Coupled with the tiniest peppering of psychedelia..." - livingtree.com

"(Your Cannons) uses the building distortion to create a sound that leaves the listener overwhelmed... On their EP, Dust Bowl, the boundaries demarcating harmony and melody are blissfully muddied... Colliding the well-loved layered textures inherent in the shoegaze genre with gigantic riffs and hooks... Jump into the smoke, and let's get messed up." - DuckandCoverMusic.net

"The EP has a music-at-midnight feel that suits Your Cannons down to the ground... like a slow-motion mosh in a room filled with red strobe lights." - Music With An Exclamation Point Blog
