Album Notes

Imagine for a moment that Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters joined up with Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. What would this rock collaboration sound like? They'd probably sound like Bancroft, who's already creating a delightful medley of distorted guitars, captivating lyrics, and a reminiscent, yet fresh feel to rock music. Bancroft's sound at its foundation is rock with an upbeat edge.

The Bowling Green, Ohio based four piece could further be compared to many other well-known artists such as Jimmy Eat World and Phantom Planet. Bancroft simply delivers hook driven tunes, catchy lyrics, and pure fun embodied in solid rock fashion.

Bancroft is not that flamboyant punk out there obnoxiously trying to get your attention while on stage, nor that quiet, jet-black haired kid standing in the corner that you wish would cheer up. Bancroft is, Andy Hutchinson (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Brett Duffy (Lead Guitar and Backup Vocals), David Nemet (Bass and Backup Vocals), and Mark Poseler (Percussion and Backup Vocals). As down to earth as they may seem off stage, on stage is another story. All four members pour every last bit of their heart and soul into the music. Their creation is a high energy live show that will have everyone bouncing around the room whether they've heard the band before or not.

Currently Bancroft is supporting their much-anticipated full-length CD, The Melophobic Solution, released on October 1, 2005. This is the band's greatest triumph to date, with only their best songs recorded with the utmost attention to detail. Steady touring and radio play throughout Ohio continues as the boys continue to spread the Bancroft buzz.
