Skeletonbreath is a Brooklyn, New York based instrumental rock trio signed to Ernest Jenning Records.[1][2] Their music has been self-described as "Transylvanian Surf Rock" and "Halloween party music."[3] The band is composed of Andrew Platt on electric bass, Bob Pycior on electric violin, and Tris Palazzolo on drums.[4] Their debut album, Louise, was independently released in 2005 and has been described by TheHVScene.com as "A perfect CD."[5] They were featured in Progression Magazine [6] after opening the Progday festival, received acclaim in the Orlando City Beat, and were featured on the DIY website Ruberecords.org.[7] Despite having acquired much notoriety within the New York music scene, Skeletonbreath retained a strong DIY ethic, playing in basements and living rooms as often as at festivals.
History
[edit]Andrew Platt, Crockett Doob, and Bob Pycior grew up together in upstate New York, and played together in a number of short-lived groups throughout middle school and high school.[8] In the summer of 2002 the three formed Skeletonbreath while home from college, and shortly after began touring the northeast.[8] Bob Pycior played in Kiss Kiss before quitting in 2005 in favor of Skeletonbreath, causing what appears to have become a lasting rivalry between the two groups. In 2007, Doob left the band to pursue other creative interests, including assisting in the production of a film and writing a novel, and was replaced by Tris Palazzolo after a series of auditions for the role. A second full-length album, Eagle's Nest, Devil's Cave, was released on May 19, 2009 on Ernest Jenning Records.[9]
