The Brilliant Inventions may be the worst band you'll ever hear.
Sure, they have a ton of smart, catchy, rockin' songs that get stuck in your head for days. And okay, yeah--they kick supafuzz harmonies over sophisticated guitar parts, but so what? Who wants to hear something like that??
Some people think that just because Eliot Bronson and Josh Lamkin have both won awards for their songwriting, and both toured as solo acts before forming their little band that The Brilliant Inventions would be... well, brilliant. Well think again.
The Brilliant Inventions don't have one song with vague, pretentious lyrics, zero gratuitous guitar solos, and all their songs are under four minutes long. So what if in one Brilliant Inventions show, you are likely to hear songs about Waffle House waitresses, disaster-prone girlfriends, and the blatant confession, "I wanna see you naked," all woven together with hysterical stage banter and songs of the more poignant and heartbreaking kind. I, for one, want my songwriters to be dark, brooding, and completely unintelligible.
Sure, if what you want are well-crafted songs that are literate, witty, and instantly accessible, The Brilliant Inventions is your band. Whatever. You probably like The Beatles, Ben Folds Five, Fountains of Wayne, and Tom Petty too. Get a life.

Your songs get stuck in my head

I'm normally a heavy metal, hard rock music fan but The Brilliant Inventions is the one band I can always have a good time to. They have songs for all most of my moods. I'm a huge fan and have to make more of an effort to see their shows. Even my mom likes their music

Brilliant Inventions ROCK HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
author: Da' Evvsta'
I absolutely love these guys... the songs are poetic and complex in their structure... the guitar is amazingly well played, and the harmonies are dead on... especially for a live album!!!! They put forth the sentiments every guy agrees with and every girl can laugh with... and who doesn't wish they could sing as high as the great B.I. !!!!!!!!! Amazing album I hear they are coming out with a new one soon!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I think on RCAM records)

I met Josh 6 years ago in Boone, NC. I went and listened to him in Black Mountain and Asheville. It was a treat. I always hoped Josh would expand himself and joining with Eliot I see that he has. Together they live up to their name of the Brilliant Inventions because they are. I love sharing their music with others and love singing along with them in the car. If you are tired of mediocre music, get this top notched duos CD.
