bio/ exhausted facts

Sometimes you hear something so familiar, you swear you’ve heard it before, but you just can’t quite place it. When it comes to musical creativity, Suplex has that strange familiarity — the kind that knows no bounds. Like a dream you wake from, the kind that makes you wish it had become your new reality, Suplex molds a sonic wave of energy into a beautiful landscape of emo-filled scenery. Brought together only by a love of escapist longing, these four young men contradict the traditional laws of pop-creation, only to bring it to a new level of mastery. Not to the technical plane of mastery, but the kind with an exorbitant amount of heart and soul that each and every one of us can relate to. With lyrics that encapsulate the turmoil of celestial dreams cut short by earthbound limbs, Suplex takes you on a trip to galaxies you’ve only hoped to see in your lifetime. Sure they’ve played with a lot of great bands. And yeah, they’ve become the up-and-coming band of Portland, OR over the last 2 years. And with their signing to San Francisco based label, M-Theory Records, they’re poised for even greater heights. But let’s take it to another level. This is music you long for. The stuff you hope for. This is music you die for. Let Suplex take you on the ride of your lifetime. Throw your headphones on your earthling ears. Get lost in the sounds of the universe. Get lost in the love for space and adventure. Be inspired by music again.

reviews:

The Rocket: Portland’s Suplex need to stop making demos and start making albums. People should be allowed the opportunity to spice up their stereos with this stuff. Suplex whip up one of the tastiest indie rock casseroles, with healthy additives such as Galaxy 500, The Church and Sonic Youth.

The Iconoclast: Maybe writing such a fine debut CD is Gordie’s biggest step yet towards earning his indie space rock flying wings.

The Rocket: Venture into popular space with Suplex’s futur-istic songcraft giving you proper lift-off. Gordie Muscutt, Sean Chambers and James Partch will pilot a smart rocket to that soft spot in your head. "Speaking dolphin pt. 1" should quench any lingering thirst for a beautiful experimental noise ballad, while the sad/lonely boy vocals and sci-fi pop on "sensory device" will have Built to Spill fans falling head over heels. A well-kept Portland secret.

Willamette Week: Good mid-‘80s style fuzz and feedback from college boy rockers Suplex, who toss in equal doses of Sonic Youth drone and Soul Asylum/Replacements rot and roll. Fifteen years ago, the tune "space opie" (with it s chant sometimes i forget/you dont quite get it) would have been a widely touted anthem. Middle America’s angst can be so fun.

In Music We Trust (http://www.inmusicwetrust.com): If you're looking for a quirky pop band that isn't afraid to explore and challenge themselves, Suplex is the right pick. They're songs often revolve around pop, but they're not afraid to abandon ship and try something new once in awhile either. I'll give this album a B+.
