Badlands

fielding re-enters the musical stage with their 6-song EP titled 'Our Side Is An Ocean.'
Written over the past few years, these songs explore trails of discourse in human nature and relationship.
Produced by Bobby Hartry, for CatBeach Music, 'Our Side' is a blend of straight forward acoustic guitar and piano with distorted and dissonant guitars and textures. You can hear Eric's earlier influences, such as Nada Surf, coming back around to create a more aggressive sound to support the introspective lyrical content.

'Our Side' is already finding an enthused audience, with placements on various TV shows, including American Idol and The Winner Is.

The Voice of Us

fielding, a critically acclaimed indie folk band, have carved their own unique niche in the amply talented Southern California music scene since 2004. Featuring the songsmithing of frontman, Eric Fielding Balmer, pared with multi-instrumentalist, Beth Balmer, fielding has delivered two albums, the self titled “fielding,” and “The Voice of Us” – a bittersweet homage to Eric’s late grandmother, Wilda McGaha.  With these two collections under their belts, and multiple TV placements, the two have garnered an avid following and considerable critical praise.

“…fielding stoke the fires, making nuanced rock with melodic guilelessness and winsome sophistication…” – Kevin Bronson “Buzz Bands” Los Angeles Times

“Sweet like late Badfinger and nearly as irritated as Jello Biafra, a lone hollyhock in a truckload of turnips.” – MeanStreet Magazine

“fielding are the true American heroes.” – Rich Kane, OC Weekly

“…they’re much more akin to Doves, Coldplay, and The Verve. Comparisons schmarisons, they’re excellent…” – LA UNDERGROUND
