Imagine Godzilla fighting a sexy rock-and-roll monster that purred like thunder, sang like a hurricane, shot love-lasers out of one eye and truth-lasers out of the other, and reached out with a million flailing tendrils into the ear-holes of everyone who looked at it. AKA a kick-ass prog rock band with powerful female vocals and an undying love of rock. (PS. Godzilla loses)

Once, the fates endeavored to create a most righteous sound, and thus 
came together Cold Static's founding members, Emilee Wood & B. Alex Pope. 
For a decade they wandered, delivering supernova vocals and guitar kung-fu to the people, but unable to fully sate the rock beast. Having found themselves thrown through the blustery sands of time and landed in Portland, they searched for band mates. As dubious luck would have it, and perhaps the sacrificial mermaid helped, the sleek Kyle Stephenson, drum meister, found them first. Half spokesmodel, half percussion demon, literal splinters fly through the air like a mad lumberjack when he lays down the beats. Then came bassist Brian Johnson, new blood, some guy who just showed up one day but was cute so we kept him, the sultan of the long strings and bey of the bottom end. A clap of thunder and the fates smiled. Their powers combined, Cold Static straddles the stage once again. Brace yourself. 

Rock was never dead, it was merely slumbering, gathering its power.

THE BAND
The Almost Faithful is a Seattle-based alt-rock quartet featuring lead vocalist David Marshall, guitarist and songwriter John Feodorov, bass guitarist Hal Deranek, and drummer James Lord. 

The Almost Faithful’s musical persona – at once aggressive, composed, introspective, and nimble – is really an extension of the band members themselves and the wealth of experience, attitude, and musicianship that they bring to the stage. 

THE MUSIC
Equal parts intellectual and edgy, The Almost Faithful skillfully weaves together thought-provoking and mordant lyrics with commanding staccato guitar riffs, intense basslines, and tight drumming to create a distinctive and complex sound that’s as raw, gritty, and exposed as it is intentional and well-crafted. 

Drawing inspiration from an assortment of music artists including the Who, Pixies, Talking Heads, Tom Waits, and Brian Eno, The Almost Faithful employs unconventional time signatures and chord progressions to create complex compositions that are a natural foundation for song lyrics with substance. John Feodorov delivers those lyrics with brilliant vocal inflection that – eerie and sardonic – sounds like a cross between Nick Cave (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and Ray Davies (the Kinks). The result is an alluring sound with an air of mystery to it that is uniquely The Almost Faithful.

Certain Inertia sprang into existence when songwriter and acoustic guitarist  Peter MacMillan submitted a "Lead Guitarist Type Wanted" ad in a local Seattle newspaper.  After indicating that, "Sure, I like Steely Dan...at times", Brien Howard plugged in and overlaid steady stream after steady stream of tasteful melodic filigree over a variety of Peter's energetic riffs.  These two visionaries recognized that, together, they were onto something unique.  

Rounding out the line-up is the band's stalwart rhythm section:  Brian Reece on bass guitar and Brendan Hardy on drums.

Each band member brings his own musical thumbprint to the proceedings.  Certain Inertia blends myriad influences into a cohesive, ear-friendly, forward-facing whole.
