Amanda tried out and she impressed everyone and became a member of the band rather quickly. Ever since then, things have been clicking with everyone.
This is a sort of philosophical question. Musically, what are you trying to accomplish? Something that people can listen to years from now and still enjoy it. At the same time, still doing things our own way without any sort of boundaries or limitations. The band has a consistent visual theme — the creature icon and all that.
Is this a conscious thing? Who did the artwork? A lot of her work just seemed to fit our style and what we were essentially looking for. But I overheard someone saying you were their favorite band. And there was with no qualifier. Not, their favorite local band, just favorite band. Maybe not. We welcome it for sure. If this helps us reach a bigger audience, play outside of Fresno, play bigger venues, then we definitely hope we can gain even more momentum.
People have made comparisons to Arcade Fire. Musically, what are your influence and how does that affect the song writing process?
We definitely love those bands and they have been influences but we don't write with the intention of sounding like any of them.
Yeah, there are certain elements that are taken in subconsciously I'm sure but we we go out and try to write what we feel is comfortable and what sounds good to us and not like anyone else. Fresno has a ton of bands and great musicians playing across genres. What do you think we need to propel the scene to the next level? With Fresno, we're so close to being there. So, this is for the CD release. Tell us about the songs? There was no preconceived notion on this EP whatsoever.
The songs were recorded at Fast Traxx here in Fresno. Eric Peters of the Sleepover Disaster recorded and produced the record. I believe it basically translates into fierce creatures or fierce monsters. What bands local or otherwise are exciting you right now? There are a lot of bands that we love. In the local scene, we really like Achievement House. Also, local favorites like Brother Luke and Rademacher are always fun to watch and listen to.
I say either A. Tyra Banks. A Liger Banks. Pretty fierce. Fierce Creatures released their debut EP 'I Mostri Feroci' this past summer but it only came to my attention thanks to an email from Nathaniel from the band Although hailing from California, I'm getting quite a few English similarities, Wild Beasts and the sadly defunct Grammatics along with a similar vibe of Fanfarlo spring to mind.
Sparkling, twinkly guitars combine with meandering vocals and infectious chants. Keys, and orchestral pieces are interwoven during many of the tracks and repeat listens discovers hidden depth. On the more subtle ballad "The Great White" Amanda takes a great amount of the vocal duty with beautiful results. Probably my favourite though is the wonderful closure "The Brute and The Beast" which starts gentle percussion, strings and more shimmering guitar yet breaks into an almost western-esque sound midway through before ending in an epic and insane finale which leaves you wanting much more.
I have to thank Nathaniel of fierce creatures for sending me this after I initially put up this post. I've been enjoying the EP so much and I can only hope I see you guys live very soon, and you put out a 7". I can tell there will be big things coming from this band. It doesn't hurt they've already toured with the likes of Avi Buffalo who we all love and are already being compared to bands like The Arcade Fire.
I can't wait to hear more and see more from this band. I've been playing this track over and over Fierce Creatures is a film from the late nineties about a zoo featuring John Cleese and Ronnie Corbett. They recorded and released their debut EP by themselves in July, and are currently playing live shows and looking for a deal.
They do well to not have a cluttered sound with seven of them strumming, banging and wailing away; instead they end up with slightly longer tracks that have a kind of epic feel to them.
Any song that can be considered anthem-like has to achieve a couple of things. Another factor is the song has to have a part in it where the sound is so huge it engulfs you in it. At moments huge group vocals from everyone in the band and frantic guitars to moments of soft melody driven vocals. I love this song. The rest of the EP is pretty great too.
Every one of the five songs has a pretty unique sound to them. One thing I say about this group, is that they sound extremely seasoned already. They seem confident in their art and in the direction they want their art to be heard, which is a great thing to see early on.
Fierce Creatures hope to have new material out by next summer and are planning to do some extensive touring as well. You can download the track by pressing the little down arrow on the soundcloud link. Their music has something kinetic, evocative of free rides to endless expanses. A big band that mixes rock elements with the addition of precious mandolins and other folk instruments bells.
They sound impressive when placing their melodies, just like many of their older brothers. La loro musica ha qualcosa di cinetico, evocativo di corse libere verso distese sterminate. Una big band che miscela elementi rock con aggiunte preziose di mandolini e campane altri strumenti folk. Suonano maestosi quando piazzano le loro melodie, esattamente come molti dei loro fratelli maggiori. Fierce Creatures are quasi Arcade Fire just many, many years younger and therefore come with a fair amount of Indie.
Their debut EP is bursting through the wall away with perfectly arranged pop songs. Worried you sure the EP. It's worth it! Alles was aus Kanada kommt, will man ja spontan mit Arcade Fire vergleichen.
Gesagt getan! Besorgt euch unbedingt die EP. Es lohnt sich! Sorry to be crass, Winter, but you can go to hell. However, it seems that as December approaches, new music gets dropped daily. Even on the modern pop scene, song structure is becoming the go-to musical aspect to manipulate see some of the most anticipated releases of the year: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Sidewalks, Come Around Sundown.
By leaving the form of the record more malleable, a lot more creative sounds are being developed. Check out these five tracks that have been in rotation since last week, and note some of their reluctance to give into the normal pop arrangement. I love when the drums pick up and its no longer an electric-dreamscape sound, but a more composed indie-folk vibe.
Powerful words. It can be yours for 5 bucks at bigcartel?. They are currently working on a full-length album to be released next summer. Been in music hibernation and it's all because of this band. Get to know Fierce Creatures this week. They've awakened from the caves of the Central Valley and they've got one thing on their minds.
Creaky little floorboard Rattle down the hall Keep out of the cellar Lest you hear the call They'll eat you up. We get a lot of stuff sent to us everyday but this one caught my eye because I also believe that Satan is a vampire. I tell people on trains, in front of theaters, dog parks… just about anywhere you find people. I have several different costumes I wear and an array of different signage. I am seriously pissed I have not seen this band live yet. Here is a video I found that only made me even more pissed over the fact that I have yet to catch them live: By the way, while some of the other members have already proven their talents in other local bands, I think this project just might show how Amanda Valdez is quite a spunky and hip girl.
I was asked to create storybook-like album art for a new California based band called Fierce Creatures. I used inks and watercolour for the creatures and trees, handwritten text on covers and insides and Photoshop to bring it all together. In the meantime, go and check out the band at www. Fierce Creatures emerged from the scorching Fresno, CA summer of Abandoning past musical undertakings that never quite seemed to fit, the band came together to build an identity free of limitations — an identity focused on the joy of undiluted music.
Guitars and keys drive their tunes, while mandolin, harmonica, and bells accentuate them with chanting choruses and a miscellany of percussion.
The product: cultivated art-pop that can only be called Fierce Creatures. He had seen them play a short two song set the previous night at Studio Itz before the cops shut them down. They put together a high energy show with Amanda dancing around happily on stage going from a drum to tambourine , vocals to bells.
Little by little the crowd started filling in to give the 6 piece band a chance. Say hello to your new favorite band. Names and instruments of each member? How long have you been playing together? We were playing in a different band together as a four piece. That sort of just ended, so we decided to do something better, a little more experimental, and a lot more dynamic.
Joel joined last summer and Amanda joined last November, and they really helped us create that sound 3. I am so happy to have experienced your live show, what is your favorite part about performing together? Tell us a little about your featured song, Satan is a Vampire. Satan is a Vampire was our first completed song and kinda shaped our direction, in my opinion.
We put a lot of thought in this song, experimented with percussive sounds, and added really catchy group vocals.
