Weatherbox is made up of four bandmates; Brian Warren (vocals, guitar), Mike Longfield (guitar), Ryan Hill (bass), and Justin Green (drums) who came together in the sleepy southern Californian town of San Diego. Upon listening to their EP release The Clearing (which came out November 7 on Doghouse), you may ask yourself how a group of southern California friends came up with lyrics that conjure a fantastic alternate reality that many can only achieve with hallucinogens…and the truth is, we don’t really know and may just have to wait until the band’s full length debut American Art (released May 8, 2007).

As with southern Californian mornings when the fog recedes from the beach to show a glistening shoreline, The Clearing [not so] quietly shines through the clutter of today’s rock music (much in the same way that Doghouse alumni, Say Anything, have done).

Weatherbox's American Art is 13 songs of swelling love and bear-like strength.  The album is a stunning first step from this San Diego  band destined for greatness. Gigantic guitar hooks and earth-shattering drum work seem to burst through a cloud of smoke. All the while, vocalist / songwriter Brian Warren provides a hefty dose of eclectic melodies with lyrics that harken back to a bygone psychedelic era. Equal parts progressive rock and symphonic guitar ambience,   an undeniable statement.

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
