About The Myriad (Seattle, WA):
Drawing rave reviews from fans and critics worldwide, The Myriad's music covers a diversely artistic panorama. Atmospheric, melodic strains fill lyrics of heartache, doubt, and guts, while epic soundtracks span thundering anthems and sincere confessions with a mighty thump!
The band has toured extensively, playing with bands such as Lovedrug, mewithoutYou, Mutemath, As Tall As Lions, etc, and has quickly earned a sing-along relationship with fans everywhere... a connection founded more on captivating performances than on-stage antics.
Creative melodies evocative of at times kent, at others Bjork, are delivered with the grand musical scope of The Verve, Radiohead and Mew. The Myriad's first full length record, "You Can't Trust a Ladder" was featured as a Staff Favorite on iTunes (alongside the White Stripes and the Foo Fighters) when it was released in June 2005.
The band’s forthcoming record "With Arrows, With Poise” will be released March 2008.
