Bio

Some members of The Black Market Party have attributed BOBGOBLIN’S sound to such 20th Century rock styles as the 1970′s glam of David Bowie, the punk of The Clash, Killing Joke, and The Buzzcocks, as well as the eraly-1980′s rock sound of The Cars and Cheap Trick. BOBGOBLIN admit that they have, in the process of rediscovering a multitude of 20th Century and 21st Century musical types, been influenced by the most passionate examples of such music. However, BOBGOBLIN are quick to point out that their musical influences are of broader a variety. One Black Maket Party critic incitefully noticed an orchestral side to BOBGOBLIN, describing their music as “frank power-pop with relentless hooks that have a romantic, Wagnerian feel.” Though one must dig a little harder to find it in the music, some of the band’s members are even devoted listeners and practitioners of Jazz. Yes – hard to believe – but under the crunching guitars and that cynical rock n’ roll angst, BOBGOBLIN try to infuse their energetic, issue-oriented songs with a sense of musicality, using chromaticism and subtle modulations to take the melodic message to a new, rock level. – bobgoblin.com
