The Real creates alternative rock powerful enough to wake an audience of floor-gazers and with chops enough to force fellow players to look up from their drinks. They strip rock down to its most basic elements – voice, bass, guitar, drums – and have achieved something most bands never do by accumulating all their influences into a single ideal and forging a distinguished sound.
Dan (bass, vocals), Ryan (guitar, vocals) and Alex (drums) lit the fuse a few years back at an anything-goes jam session in the toxic ruins of Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, CA. Since then The Real has played across the entire Bay Area, building a fan base and developing an explosive live show gig by gig.
For a close approximation of their sound, imagine The Who Live at Leeds with Pink Floyd vocal harmonies, a touch of Tool’s atmospherics and some Primus improv all played with the raw, vintage tone of the White Stripes.

Excellent!

This band has suffice it to say, blown me away. The first thing I noticed is that not a single song is below 4 minutes -- a rarity in modern music. In fact two songs break the 7 minute mark and a third comes close.
That isn't to say, however, there is a lot of musical fluff in there. The music is brilliant. The lyrics are intelligent (wow shock!) and beg you to think them over. There isn't a single quality this band is lacking in -- every song is an untapped hit. They touch on styles I loved about classic rock but they've run with it and done things I can't imagine anyone in the 70s thinking up.
They are, as the name states, The Real.
