brianseymour

his writing comes fast and furious.
the music soars. smart-pop with a tough american sensibility that recalls seymour’s roots in springsteen’s red bank, new jersey.

a true independent success story: the spring 2005 release, perfectly wrong, is seymour’s sixth release on his label bamu ventures including the much acclaimed 'when i was blonde'. seymour is riding a nice wave after releasing ‘blonde’ in japan and placing the song ‘i go happy’ in a national ad campaign with pennsylvania tourism.

THE PERFORMING SONGWRITER DIY SPOTLIGHT 7: BRIAN SEYMOUR
”it’s evident from the studied and confident stance of when i was blonde that brian seymour is no newcomer to the diy game. couched within the framework of a superbly produced album are 10 intense, finely honed songs that show seymour to be a writer of serious vision in the vein of david gray, paul westerberg and elvis costello in his ability to embed intelligent, incisive snapshots of thought in a crafty pop song. the philly songwriter has been doing this quite effectively since 1996 and has five full-length solo releases and one ep under his belt. and there’s more where that came from.” november 2004

press:
"from his early acoustic based material to the more exciting new pop leaning songs, brian is a musical force to be reckoned with both locally and nationally."
bruce warren, program director wxpn, philadelphia

"the singer/songwriter, who now splits his time between los angeles and new york, widens his horizons with the best new compositions, judas kiss and old soul, whose marriage of modern rock and orchestral touches would sound at home alongside coldplay and our lady peace on y100." philadelphia citypaper, may 2003

"brian seymour has recorded one of the best sounding discs from a local artist that we've ever received at y100! the songs are strong, the production and performances are up to major label quality, and he seems to have the talent to bust out in a big way."
jim mcguinn, program director y100, philadelphia

"i love the raspy vocals and sampled techno pop flavor seymour deploys on songs like 'memories of high school' and 'little one,' first cousins to all the sensitive guy stuff david gray's been up to lately."
jonathan takiff, philadelphia daily news
