Bio
... "INVASION EARTH" IS A SUPERNATURAL MUSICAL PHENOMENON EMANATING FROM THE TWIN CITIES IN MINNESOTA. ...THEIR MOTHERSHIP IS LOCATED IN ST. PAUL, NEAR CRETIN AVENUE, THE INSPIRATION FOR THE CLASSIC PUNK ROCK SONG "CRETIN HOP", WRITTEN BY ONE OF THE BAND'S PRIMARY INFLUENCES, THE "RAMONES". ...BUT UNLIKE THE "RAMONES", WHO WERE NOT BROTHERS, BUT ASSUMED THE SAME SURNAME, THE MEMBERS OF "INVASION EARTH" ACTUALLY ARE BROTHERS, AND IT IS THIS FAMILIAL, FRATERNAL CONNECTION WHICH CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO THEIR TELEPATHICALLY TIGHT MUSICIANSHIP AND COMPLEMENTARY, WELL BLENDED VOCALS. ...BILLY (BASS) AND TONY (DRUMS) FORM THE RAPID FIRE, ROCK SOLID RHYTHM SECTION, WHILE ERIC (GUITAR) SUPPLIES RAZOR SHARP RIFFS AND CREATIVE, COMPETENT LEADS. ...VOCAL DUTIES ARE SHARED BY THE GROUP, AND THE OVERALL SOUND CREATED FAR SURPASSES THE LIMITS OCCASIONALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A THREE PIECE BAND. ..."INVASION EARTH" ARE INSPIRED CONSIDERABLY BY MOTION PICTURES, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN THE SCIENCE FICTION AND HORROR GENRES. THEIR CLEVER, MULTIFACETED AND SOMETIMES SHOCKING, BUT FUNNY, LYRICS ARE OFTEN BASED ON OR INFORMED BY THESE FILMS AND DERIVED FROM EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OF THEIR SCRIPTS, RELATED BOOKS AND ANY OTHER AVAILABLE MATERIALS. ...DRAWING FROM A WIDE AND VARIED LIST OF INFLUENCES THAT INCLUDE, AMONG MANY OTHERS, PUNK ROCK PIONEERS, HEAVY METAL MASTERS AND HARD ROCK HEROES, THE ACCOMPLISHED AND VERSATILE MUSICIANS IN "INVASION EARTH" ARE ABLE TO COMPOSE MEMORABLE, WELL CRAFTED SONGS, IMPLEMENTING A MULTITUDE OF MUSICAL STYLES, WHILE REMAINING CONSISTENT, CONCISE AND ORIGINAL. ...PRODUCING THEIR OWN UNIQUE BRAND OF MUSIC, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS "SCI-FI PUNK ROCK". -
