Hailing from Spokane, Washington,The Globes (Erik Walters, Marcus Ourada, Kyle Musselwhite, and Sean McCotter) formed in their teenage years, spending afternoons in their sleepy city collaboratively dissecting and interpreting the fundamentals of songwriting, experimentation and craft while forging together their own musical inspirations to fabricate a singular and precocious sound based on the traditional guitar, bass, drum lineup.
Carrying ambition and confidence in their creative potential to stay united post high school graduation, the band relocated to Seattle in 2007 to pursue their musical experiments in a more opportune environment. Somewhere between day jobs and school, The Globes managed to record an eponymous E.P. in early 2008 with engineer Jonathan Warman (Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band) in the dim and dusty basement of their little blue house. In the following year, the band spent fruitful time playing weekly shows in the Northwest and running up and down the West Coast, slowly catching the attention of humble audiences and local critics, while sharpening their own collective spirit.
After a time of travel, the Globes spent the fall of 2009 writing and recording new music with veteran producer John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Death Cab for Cutie, Unwound), resulting in the release of the "Sinter Songs" EP, a conglomeration of 4 moody songs based on the intricate rhythms and dynamics overlayed by noisy and textural guitar work.
Like hairs on a head, The Globes continue to grow in all directions. Look forward to it.
"...the band subtly contrasts loud and quiet, making for carefully crafted guitar rock that's
beautiful, but with a bang."
- The Stranger
"hints of darkness and discord... moody yet warm, deep and lovable. It's the ideal kind of
music to get attached to, not demanding attention but definitely meriting it."
