Warm the Bell was created in Asheville, NC by songwriters and local music scene veterans Sean Robbins (Nevada) and Vickie Burick (Nevada). Joined by Sam Brinkley (Rafe Hollister, Drunken Prayer) on bass/drums, the band began performing as a three piece in early 2010. After adding Anthony Dorion (Silver Machine, Worldline) on bass and combining the influences of 60's rock, Folk, Americana, Indie and Psychedelic Acid Rock, Warm the Bell found its place as a full band. In 2013, Warm the Bell celebrated the release of its debut album “You Are the Sun” recorded in West Asheville at the popular Collapseable Studios. The album was well received. It generated positive reviews and steady sales, including a four star review in Blurt Magazine.
"second track “Now I Know” has a gently choogling vibe that’s simultaneously Byrdsian and Galaxy 500-esque, jangly guitars and Robbins/Burick harmonies soaring heavenward even as the rhythms lock into a hypnotic, rolling pulse. Later, in “Big Love,” elements of vintage baroque pop surface even as buzzing, distorted electric riffs dart in and out of the mix, and it’s these sonic contrasts that conspire in the group’s utter uniqueness. From classic-tilting psychedelia like the woozy title track to the straightforward folkrock of “Nothing More” to the dreamy, gospellish, strings-laden shoegaze that is “Not Enough,” Warm the Bell is able to hit the sonic sweet spot over and over" - Blurt Magazine.
"The lyrics skip light as stones over the layered guitars. Sean Robbins and Vickie Burick are a well-matched pair of vocalists. Their voices are both easy, suggested long drives, scenic panoramas and a faded Polaroid aesthetic that's as familiar as it is wistful" - The Mountain Xpress.
"Overall, this album is one brimming with a sense of nostalgia. It works to take you back to the places where you formed memories and lets you revel in it for a while" - The Equal Ground.
"Almost every song conjures up a visual scenario in my mind, to a much greater extent than any other album I can remember, and that's a testament to the power of the music Warm the Bell is creating" - Bold Life
Warm the Bell released "We Are From North Carolina" as a stand alone single in 2014 and In 2015, the band took a break from recording their new album to release a cover of "Christmas Time is Here" as their holiday single. "Christmas Time is Here" was featured in Blurt magazine and was a free download on the website. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on a new album.
