Baumer - Were It Not for You

Hailing from Columbia, South Carolina, Baumer formed in 2004 with four members: Nate Boykin (vocals, keyboards), Kenny McWilliams (guitar, programming), Chad Rochester (bass, keyboards) and Josh Kean (drums). Drawing influences from bands like New Order, Nine Inch Nails, or the Cars, Baumer take the sound of Electronic Power Rock to the next level of the future of music. Most closely compared to contemporaries Muse or the Faint, Baumer's album is amazingly slick and balls-to-the-wall, accompanied by their dizzying array of time signatures. Much like the band's 2005 album, Come On, Feel It, 'Were It Not for You' is the soundtrack to a late night dance party that ends in a passionate love affair with the girl across the room. Released on their home-base Eyeball Records. 11 tracks.
