Rising from the ashes of the Portland, Oregon electronic act, Omnibox, SD6 was officially born in 2002. After a seemingly never-ending search for additional personnel, singer/songwriter Brandon Jerwa reassigned manager Jessica Blackshear to the role of a full-fledged band member. Soon enough, everything naturally fell into place: a relocation to Seattle turned out to be a creative breath of fresh air, and the duo quickly found their missing link with the addition of highly skilled keyboardist Nicole Edmonds.
Jerwa's sudden - and successful - breakthrough as a comic book writer forced the band to take their time during the recording process, so they simply rolled with the punches. The extra time spent on the record paid off, allowing the band's sound to grow and evolve naturally for their first release, rather than forcing the process through the crunch of deadlines. Along the way, the circle widened to include Fritter (former drummer for Backandtotheleft, Noxious Emotion and Omnibox).
With everything in place, Tom Shear of Assemblage 23 was recruited for his well-known production polish to bring out the best in the music created by the band. The result is the band's debut, "Between Noise and Transmission", a unique blend of emotionally intense lyrics, ear-catching melodies, and relentless dance beats with a fluid electronic backdrop. Indeed, the album is a still-life portrait of a band constantly in motion, but unwilling to be pushed in one defined direction.
Word, much love.
Great industrial band.
Great music made by great people.
Been listening since the beginning and they just keep getting better.
I've known of these guys for what seems like eons. Not only are they amazing and talented musicians, but they are amazing people as well. Good luck!!!
This is a great time to get on board SD6 as they've really put all the pieces together. Great band.
Brandon Jerwa is a true Renaissance man. Musician, author, family man, this guy does it all. How he's managed to lift SD6 to the higher echelons of the music biz is beyond me - sheer genius!
