Biography
A rock band from Nashville, TN comprised of four best friends from childhood (two of whom are brothers) plus a Tyson Beckfordish dude that wails on drums, their energy is as explosive as their songs are melodious.
Pulling from a variety of influences, Slow Motion Centerfold's songs roll along with impressive guitar riffs, barroom piano parts, rhythmic drums and keyboard lines equally at home on a Prince or Cure tune. The band's influences are so broad they are hard to pin down musically. Guitar rock revisionists? Keyboard pop song deconstructionists? SMC can play in a lot of different keys. But whatever you want to call the sound, the band brings an intensity to their live shows, driven largely by front man Alex Hall's high wire antics.
Maybe their sound is best described as:
Animated. Volatile. Melodic. Snappy. Rambunctious. Catchy as "fill in the blank".
Their debut album titled "Rock The Body Language" was produced by Brian Virture whose list of credits include Jane's Addiction, Audioslave, 30 Seconds to Mars, Deftones, etc.
