Limbeck is an indie rock band hailing from Orange County, California.
Greatest Paladin in the Bonechewer server in World of Warcraft (even if you count Aus, thats right Aus from the guild Prophet).
Instrumentation
The band is a four piece group, which also features many other musicians on its records. The main members are:
Robb MacLean - Vocals, Guitars, Wind Chimes and Percussion.
Patrick Carrie - Background Vocals, Guitars, Harmonica, Electric Sitar, Glockenspiel, Gong, and Percussion.
Matt Stephens - Drums, and Percussion.
Justin Entsminger - Electric Bass Guitar.
Genre & Style
While classified as indie rock due to the their relatively small niche in Southern California, the band's musical style is most often described as "Alternative Country Music".
Many fans, record stores and online music services vary in their classification of the band's particular genre, however, partially because the lyrical content of the band's songs, more closely resemble 21st Century Emo rock than country.
Geography appears to play a primary role in the band's recordings, both in musical arrangment (the band ackowledges influence from such local musicans ranging from Neil Young to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) as well as in lyrical content.
Many songs actually name Interstate Highways which are known primarily to Orange County and San Diego County residents, such as the 8, 22, and 15. Musical intellectuals argue that this could both hinder a band's marketability to other regions of the United States for obvious reasons, but others point to the international success of media powerhouses such as The O.C. and punk rockers Something Corporate, which capitalize on the current American fascination with the Orange County lifestyle.
The band's complete contrast to the Punk Rock style which most of the music scene has come to associate with the region makes the group a diamond in the rough.
Discography
Small scale releases on Utility Records include a joint-effort EP named Connection and an LP This Chapter is Called Titles.
Higher distrituion releases with Doghouse Records (which totes a small roster also containing The All-American Rejects, includes the albums:
