Brice Plays Drums is a 5 person progressive rock machine. Beginning in 2007 as a trio, BPD has incorporated larger and more robust influences ranging from jazz fusion to progressive metal, in addition to gaining new members. In May of 2011, they released their first album dubbed "I laugh at your greener pastures", a four-part, single-song odessey into the transgressions of the previous generation and the philosophies of humanity's current departure. Since the release, BPD has written nearly an hour of new material. Tentatively, BPD will be releasing their new album "Man the Animal Cannon" in May of 2012. It will feature 3 songs totalling 45 minutes, a new keyboardist, and notably jazzier and theatrical overtones. Lyrically, BPD is inspired by novels from Nietzche, Dostoyevsky, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Goethe, Albert Camus, to name a few. Catch them at a local Twin Cities venue and join them in their musical voyage. (www.facebook.com)
