Noisecumber.

We are four people who live in East London.

These are the sounds we make.

Sometimes we make them in places that you can visit.

Sometimes we make them in our practice room.

Sometimes we record them and turn them into 'tracks'.

You can buy 3 of these tracks on a really spiffing 7-inch vinyl record from our bandcamp page or in person at our gigs or in person as Rough Trade East...

You can buy a 4 track cassette release from Odd Box Records.

Please and thank you.

Somerled started with brothers Austin Goodman (Lead Singer / Rhythm Guitar Player) and Seth Goodman (Drummer / Background Vocals) 
Austin Goodman started writing songs on the Acoustic Guitar, working out a 5 song EP Rhythmically and Structurally. Austin wrote a good ten songs but only half made the cut. We dont want to just pump out material fast. We don't wanna work on a song and spend tons of time on it, if we aren't that stoked on it, its not going to make it to the studio. Maybe Demo rough cut but that's about it. Me and my brothuh Seth decided to pursue recording an EP. I worked at a recording studio / film production company at this time. 
We asked two of our good friends to Record with us. 
Devin Avey (Lead guitar player) and Tim Cooper (original Bass Player). 
We first recorded in Santa Cruz CA, 
with Andy Snyder (Engineer) 
At his studio called Tinderbox recording. 
"Had a lot of fun recording the EP" 
After the Demo was finished, we realized that a full length album was needed and began writing and recording with the full band after breaks here and there playing live shows and just taking our time letting our new material age. 
Audio Engineer Andy Snyder came in and started pre-production recording our practices. 
This time we recorded in our hometown, Aromas CA. 
Turning our EP into a Full Length, 12 song album. 
titled "Legend of Fools. 
Released 2016. 
Somerled is now with their 3rd bass player. Current player is Ryan Zash, holdin it down. Both members before had to move out of state unfortunately. They did want to stay with the band/group. 
Ryan Zash recorded on 7 of the 12 songs on "LOF". Tim Cooper recorded on 5 of the 12.
Original EP the 5th song was never released until full album was finished, due to more work needing to be done on it. 
"cruz" (cooper bass) is the track. 
Finally finishing it off in 2016 with new lead guitar work being done on it. Satisfying. 
Somerled is currently Playing Live shows around Santa Cruz, Monterey CA and the Bay Area. 
We will be promoting our album through live shows, music videos and any other way we can. 
The biggest show we had the Honor of playing was at NASA AMES Research Center in mountain view ca, for the Ladee Mission Rocket Launch. Crowd of 5,000 people. 
Somerled was formerly known as (Tone Captain) we changed our name in 2016. 
•2016 We were played on Chapman Internet Radio along with KALX Berkeley radio. 
2014 we were played on Orange County College Radio and in 2016 we Had an Interview on Menlo Park's College Radio The Oak Tree.

Here is a Review Quote from TIW Music. 
By: Linda Freeman twitter.com @lindafreeman_ 
" What first drew me was their single, "Meds." It's a spare, funky song that has great flow. Austin Goodman's vocal is outstanding, like Anthony Kiedis meets Caleb Followill, and Seth Goodman, Avey and Cooper create a cool, catchy groove. " 
"Gold Medal" "has a Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers feel to it, catchy lyrics, and features more solid musicianship. " 
"Need It" " is another song that contrasts a funky groove with stark lyrics, stellar guitar work by Avey and punchy bass and percussion by Avey and Cooper that has just the right edge. "

Something there is that doesn't love a wall.

We have no cash. We are terrible at marketing. We have no connections. Maybe one day we’ll get our act together.

The cat’s out of the bag… Our new 3 track E.P. is coming out on November 3rd! It’s also up and live on Bandcamp already because, well, I messed up.  Anyway, I’m thrilled to finally have released Five Four Girls. 

We started working on these songs at Rabid Ears Recording back in 2019 with the intention of releasing them as this E.P. From those recording sessions, only the drum tracking for the title track has made it to this release. Tricia and I recorded (or re-recorded) everything else at our own homegrown studio that we refer to as Mushroomtopia. The reason for that nickname is obvious if you’ve ever seen my moss-covered yard after a rainstorm.

"Five Four Girls" and "To Jenny" are songs written as a character.  They aren't me.  They aren't Tricia. But, it was fun to go to such unsavory places for some pretty creepy songs.

"Drone Bomb You" is an attempt to write something of a geo-political song.  And, boy, that is a difficult thing to write.  The song ended up a critique of another songwriter's attempt to write an urgent song about the state of politics. Kyle from Book of Wyrms guests on lead guitar on this song!

I thank Tricia for continuing to work with me and for enthusiastically jumping into the role of production partner. I thank Allen Bergendahl for his ongoing support, friendship, expertise and advice. I thank Kyle Lewis for many hours of shredding. I thank Laura Manchester for embracing my visual ideas and running with them to fantastic results. And thank you to Todd, Ben and Jake; “Five Four Girls” wouldn’t be what is without you.
