Innerpartysystem

The origins of Innerpartysystem can be traced in 2002, when drummer Jared Piccone and vocalist Patrick Nissley attended school together in Reading, Pennsylvania, an hour ... (more) outside of Philadelphia. The town's somewhat bleak, depressed nature (it remains the country's sixth most-dangerous city) eventually inspired the harsh, mechanical tones of the band's current music...although, ironically, the area's local "scene" had little to do with IPS's eventual sound. As the band puts it, "we were the only group in our area experimenting with dance sounds." The duo started writing songs together, inspired by both by their love of electronic music (The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails) and hardcore punk. Although the intensity of the band, in all its forms, has stayed consistent, the group saw its style begin to morph over time, becoming less "rock" and more digitally based. Things got serious around 2006. IPS's music started picking up some serious hits on MySpace. Wanting to tour, Piccone and Nissley recruited some new bandmates, including Kris Barman, a former high school friend who had relocated to Florida, and Jesse Cronan, an acquaintance of the band. The addition of these two, who are more apt to play synths than guitars, veered the band further into samples and electronic direction.
