Seepeoples
Biography
Led by the multifaceted Will Bradford, SeepeopleS is an East Coast alternative pop/rock outfit with a strong psychedelic influence. Bradford (not to be confused with the late Will Bradley, a well-known big-band leader of the '30s, '40s, and '50s) has worn many different hats with SeepeopleS; in addition to serving as the band's lead vocalist and handling most of the songwriting, Bradford has played guitar (both electric and acoustic), electric bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, organ and the Indian sitar for his group. SeepeopleS' melodic, sometimes lush work draws on a wide variety of influences from different eras. Clearly, Bradford admires Radiohead, Kula Shaker and the Orb, but he also has a lot of psychedelic, British Invasion and progressive rock inspirations from the '60s and '70s -- inspirations that include Pink Floyd, King Crimson, the Moody Blues and late-period Beatles (as in The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band). And not all of SeepeopleS' influences come from rock; there are hints of soul, funk, and dubwise reggae in some of Bradford's material, and his group sometimes incorporates elements of electronica (including trance and drum'n'bass/jungle).
