Northfield, Minnesota, United States (2003 – present)
Tapes ‘n Tapes are an indie rock band which formed in 2003 at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, United States. The band consists of Josh Grier (vocals, guitar), Eric Appelwick (bass), Matt Kretzman (keyboards) and Jeremy Hanson (drums).
After a year spent honing their musical stylings, the collective developed a sound that Splendid calls “a hybrid that resembles Low fighting it out with My Bloody Valentine…eclectic, style-defying stuff.” Tapes ‘N Tapes unleashed their self-recorded, selfreleased EP in 2004, on unsuspecting music lovers far and wide.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune said “these recordings are homemade dementia sessions…fun stuff, really.” Armed with more hits than a heavyweight fight, the brothers hit the road to spread their message of goodwill from coast to coast, playing shows with the likes of The Futureheads, The Streets, Metric, Calvin Johnson, and I Am the World Trade Center, just to name a few. They also put on a great show at Chicago’s music festival, Lollapalooza, this past summer. They blew the crowd away, made a name for themselves, and gained a bunch of fans who will find it hard to forget the show.
After some moves and shakes, the family has adopted a new brother and expanded their brood to four.
Now Tapes ‘N Tapes bring you their long play record debut, The Loon, which The Onion A.V. Club touts as “one of the best locally produced discs of the year.” The Loon was recorded at Darren Jackson’s (Kid Dakota, The Hopefuls) Short Man Studios in June 2005 with Erik Appelwick (Vicious Vicious, The Hopefuls). Appelwick worked overtime; recording, mixing and producing the album.

great group and great music. i reckon you guys with taste like yours might like The Lady Sails, they've actually just released their new album for free, they're slightly alternative/folk/rocky, and definetly worth checking out at least, http://theladysails.blogspot.com/
