Garlington has fast become a band known for its mixture of Indie rock, classic lead guitar, jazz guitar progressions, and syncopated rhythm. Garlington formed in late 2002, when drummer Jake Hicks met songwriter Garth Rivers, and the dynamic duo started performing as a two piece in local venues. Recognizing their sound as something fresh and unique, the two musicians decided to build Garlington into more than just another coffee house show. The addition of lead guitarist Trent Smith, and bassist Jody Powell has made Garlington into the complete sound that it is today. Each member brings extensive and diverse experience to Garlington, which adds to the new sound they have only begun to create. The eclectic songs of Garlington quickly varies from blaring and aggressive, to plaintive and deeply emotional. The sincerity of the songs resonates with todays generation, who, by and large, have grown tired of over manufactured, cookie cutter pop hits, and crave something underground and honest. Garlington is a band that seeks to be creative, progressive, and above all else, real. Read more on Last.fm.
