About
"Us On Roofs is an indie pop/rock sensation that is hailing from the great Northwest. The poetic and introspective lyrics draw you into their songs, while the guitar and drums subconsciously make you tap your feet. This is a fantastic band that’s been around for a few years now and is finally starting to gain the recognition they deserve." -Lindsey Scully, Seattle Show Gal
"With an eight-track record (last May's Robes of Feathers) under their belt, Us on Roofs provides a relaxed, poetic brand of syncopated indie rock that builds on guitarist/keyboardist Brian Fisher's lyrical approach and an affinity for familiar, catchy, guitar-driven melodies." -Nick Feldman, Seattle Weekly
"From Gig Harbor, Us On Roofs specialize in sweet vocal melodies that aren’t afraid to explore the shadows of those little garden paths down by the river. The result is uplifting and triumphant, a national anthem within the boundaries of your heart." -Tyson Lynn, The Seattlest
“Us on Roofs is a more melodic rock band consisting Brian Fisher, Mikey Farrow, and Nicholas Blodgett. Their sound relied more on structured and edited guitar melodies and they were reminiscent of Young the Giant with their earnest vocals.” -Ann, Review Artists Blog
“…these are your Groundzero Teen Center, Vera Project and other all-ages venue, heavyweight contenders. Yes, I am stating something you probably already knew. I expect them to snatch up the hearts of our young people by the dozens…” -Phil Bouie, Sound on the Sound

Bio
Us on Roofs formed in the late summer of 2009 after a series of jam sessions near the boat docks in Gig Harbor on warm evenings. It started with some acoustic guitars and some shakers, covering Bob Dylan and Good Old War songs. When singer/guitarist Brian Fisher brought his simple acoustic songs to his fellow friends and musicians Mikey Farrow and Nick Blodgett they began to reconstruct the songs into pop/rock arrangements. With only a handful of songs they were selected to participate in the 2010 Sound Off Semi-finals, launching them into a greater spectrum of talent and creativity. This move let them see they could do more with their sound, a lot more. Having gained experience in the Seattle scene, a growing loyal fan base, and new member Wesley Williams, Us on Roofs began crafting new songs for their debut full-length album (due out October 2012). Drawing from a larger and more eclectic collection of influences, their new songs venture into more experimental territory. They span from post-rock, shoegazing atmospheres to math-rock intricacy while still maintaining a pop undercurrent. Although, Us on Roofs' musical ambitions are only growing, this album is full of songs that Us on Roofs is proud to get behind. "By nature of this being our first full-length and a self-titled release, I feel like this is us really introducing ourselves, really showing our true personality as a band" says Fisher. "The melodic, shoegaze rock of Us on Roofs' live sound is one of the most original sounds in the rock scene. While being very much guitar-driven, Us on Roofs isn't afraid to push singer/guitarist Brian Fisher's vocals above the mix, where his introspective, nature-oriented lyrics shine. These lyrics are solidly backed by the elaborate rhythm section of bassist Mikey Farrow and drummer Nick Blodgett. Last year's addition of Wesley Williams to the lineup has taken Us on Roofs in an entirely new direction, as showcased in their live set, further transforming Us on Roofs' sound into a much more sophisticated, refined sonic assault." -Seattle Show Gal "the dynamic guitar-driven trio plays catchy, impeccably structured syncopated rock that showcases Fisher's poetic lyrical approach" -Seattle Weekly ALL BOOKING INQUIRES: Usonroofs@gmail.com -

Combining melodic guitar riffs, superior songwriting, and sincere vocals, this band skillfully translates naturalist themes into catchy indie rock that is both refreshing and quintessentially Northwest." -Sound Off Panel "From Gig Harbor, Us On Roofs specialize in sweet vocal melodies that aren't afraid to explore the shadows of those little garden paths down by the river.
