Born and bred in Lawrence, KS, the members of
Slowride compose an infectious punk sound similar to the likes of
Jawbreaker and
Pennywise. They're also rockers with a sweet side, deriving catchy fun melodies. The band -- which is composed of Dan Phillips (guitar/vocals), Rob Marchant (bass), and Steve Visneau (drums) -- hooked up with famed indie producer Ed Rose (
Appleseed Cast,
Brandtson,
Get Up Kids) to record some songs for their Deep Elm debut in late 2001. The fruit of those sessions was
As I Survive the Suicide Bomber, issued in February 2002.
