notes

Made up of five members, Bre Loughlin, (vocals), Dave Dayton, (guitar), Corey Paganucci, (keys and programs), Neal Hallmark, (guitar), and Aaron Nicholes (drums), Kumasound's bond was formed in the summer of 2002. They were brought together by a desire to do something different, and drawing on a very diverse collective experience they soon developed the new sound that they were looking for. Bre came from a punk background, singing and playing keyboards in The Stuck-Ups (Sympathy Records). Dave, a fixture in the Seattle rock scene, had previously shared the stage with bands including The Fastbacks, Alice in Chains, Green Apple Quick Step and Candlebox. Neal played guitar in trip-hop band Emma's Mini and Corey did independent recordings of electronic music. After a very short time together they recorded their first EP Rewind with Jonathan Plum in September 2002, and their second EP That Moment of Silence Before a Disaster at Robert Lang Studios in October 2003. Fast Colliding, Kumasound's first full length CD was Recorded with Jonathan Plum in Seattle, and completed in May 2005.

  • The most played CD in my collection
    author: Tina

    I listen to this CD more than any other that I have. I love how the music is dark without being brooding and is very danceable. The songs are perfect, catchy and unique.

    Klasse CD, leider nicht in Deutschland erhältlich.

  • I love Kuma!!
    author: Sonny

    At first, I was disappointed that this album was not as good as either of the previous, but the more I listened to it, the more I discovered how awesome it is. Now I'm to the point where this is the best album I've ever heard! I'm sure this is a temporary thing (Kuma is bound to release another album sometime...) but for the time being, it's all I listen to.

  • Great CD. Gets better each time I listen.
    author: Matthew

    This is a great CD. Think Siouxsie and 12 Rounds. Electronics and guitar live happily together here with live drums. It all works. It is a little dark, kinda quirky. I have Kuma's 2 EPs and this album is way better; there is more complexity and depth. This would be a good cd if the lyrics sucked, but they do not, they are great. I'm happy.

  • STELLA!!!

    Finally!! A full length CD!! Roll down the car windows & crank it up for the wall of guitars in "The Wrecking Ball", sing along with the happiest sounding breakup song ever "Welcome to Hell" or sit and ponder the quiet beauty of "Trembling Stars" ~ this CD has a song for every mood!! Each song is well crafted and thought out with layers of programming and guitars woven in between the soaring range of vocal acrobats and driving beats. These guys & gal are serious about their music and it is obvious once you listen to this CD. And if you think this band sounds great on CD, a live show is a must for the full impact of the sound and depth of this band!

  • i LOVE this cd!!!
    author: Jennifer

    Their sound is a bit reminiscent of the 80's...the singer's voice is fantastic and reminds me of Terry Bozio(?) of Missing Persons and Siouxsie. This cd has a variety of tunes, each very catching and interesting. I absolutely LOVE this cd and can't get enough of it! I'm looking forward to seeing them live. Thanks!!!

  • Atmospherically, musically, and lyrically excellent!!
    author: Eric

    I truly recommend this CD... lyrically and musically it is excellent. The guitars are moody and create great atmosphere while the sampling and drums set grooves that keep that KUMA flow... Bre's voice and style is amazing... buy this CD now!!
