With a musical background that spans four states and musical influences that span several hundred years, The Kilns have emerged onto the music scene, armed with classically-trained melodies and insightful, if a little ironic, lyricism. The Buena Park-based foursome references equal parts Ben Folds, Queen, and Mozart in their recently-recorded four song EP, placing an emphasis on catchy and singable lyrics and melodies. Despite the band’s short existence, the unity of their love of music and creative drive have been present from the start. Harris, Larson, and Chaney all met while in choir at their private college and later solidified their friendship while composing the soundtrack for an independently-produced musical. Doyle was added later on a whim that paid off. According to Harris, “Chris, Clay and I needed a drummer to play a gig, and we randomly wondered if that crazy red head kid (who none of us had ever approached before) would be game. He accepted the gig, and we’ve been together ever since.” The Kilns are currently continuing to expand their fanbase by touring an energetic and intricate live performance and preparing to re-enter the studio to write their first full length album.Tumblr (3.0; @thekilns)http://thekilns.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="300"
