Bio
The Bannetones are an independent progressive pop trio that has been bouncing around the Denver music scene for just over a year now. Their latest release, 'Narrator', marks a marked departure from the freshman album release with a nod to pop tendencies and vocal hooks, while maintaining the core progressive rock feel.
We love to play!
Band members Wallace (guitar/lead vocals), Johnny (bass/vocals), and Will (drums/vocals) met in Boulder, CO while attending graduate school; the trio began playing together in 2020. The chemistry was immediately obvious, and they decided to form the band. They wrote their initial set of songs and honed their sound during a tumultuous year which, in addition to a global pandemic, included several personal challenges that led them to the recognition of the shared musical experience as positive, creative outlet. Wallace’s lyrics highlight the role of relationships in every-day life all the way up to global societal topics such as religion and climate change. Their debut album reflects facing life’s difficulties while celebrating the opportunity to share with others and grow. The 'tones focus on keeping things interesting, dynamic, and, above all, fun! It has to groove!
