Beginnings and Eulogies

Derived from the Latin word meaning “praise,” the word eulogy usually is associated with a written or spoken tribute, a sort of story-telling, about a recently deceased loved one. And in a way, the band, Eulogies, stays true to the word’s origin. Their recently-released (September 11th) self-titled debut album is just that: a collection of thirteen “stories” through which they share thoughts and feelings of love, loss, and pain...minus the funeral. Assisting in its production was labelmate Hrishikesh Hirway of The One AM Radio.

Reminiscent of Radiohead's earlier sound with its mellow vocals and driving drum and bass beats and echoing vocals, the band Eulogies formed on the road. Then solo-artist Peter Walker (guitar, keyboard, and vocals) blended with Chris Reynolds (drums) and Tim Hutton (bass) to form a truly talented group of story-tellers. Primarily classifiable as rock, with an often melancholy twist, the songs are catchy, yet each has it’s own unique sound. This is an album that you can listen to over and over again, and each time feel like you come away understanding a little more about yourself.

The band will be on the road in October and November with Film School. Check below for dates. In the meantime, enjoy the following:
