STS9 thrives on friction. This may be surprising coming from five musicians who think of themselves as a collective as much as a band. But consider the title of the California-based outfit’s long-awaited fourth album: Peaceblaster. The two words rub against each other to create an image that is simultaneously utopian and violent, fraught with the very contradiction that permeates America circa now.
“America is this beautiful, incredible place, but it has a dark underbelly,” bassist David Murphy says. “And even on Peaceblaster’s most ethereal songs, there’s a darkness that reflects what’s going on in society-it ain’t all bad, but it ain’t all good.”
“Music measures the temperature of the people,” adds guitarist Hunter Brown. “Consumerism and the corporate media have taken us all down the path of cynicism, apathy, and nihilism. If the message on the new record is anything, it’s to blast that shit.”
Armed with a batch of song ideas and fueled by the tension of the times, the band (which in addition to Brown and Murphy, features percussionist Jeffree Lerner, keyboardist David Phipps, and Zach Velmer on drums) took a break from their masochistic touring schedule and holed up in their recording studio, determined to make the strongest album of their career. “The last few records, it felt like we were learning on the job,” says Murphy. “But the new record is the job.”

Pursuit: Go and get their album Artifact. It is in my top 5 albums of all time. I'm really enjoying Ad Explorata, too. Their live version of Music, Us is one of the best songs ever made. :D

I love how most of my favorite STS9 songs are ones that have never been released (or at least I think) on studio albums, like The Rabble.
