Those People

Those People is a collection of multi-instrumentalists that creates simple, intelligent rock and pop songs. Their songs “take the listener on a sonic journey chock full of inventive vocal harmonies, interesting melody, and lyrical content,” (Jennifer Logue, Rock On Philly). Those People was formed by two music and English teachers tired of playing covers. Their early demos garnered attention from local radio stations (WMMR, WZZO) and promoters, and opened the doors to some of Philadelphia’s preeminent stages (Milkboy, North Star Bar, Kung Fu Necktie, to name a few). Their electric live shows earned them invites to play the Liberty Music Festival and the South Street Spring Festival. In the summer of 2014 they teamed up with award-winning producer Bill Moriarty and mastering engineer Brian Lucey to record the EP “Be Careful What You Wish For,” due out December 2014. The EP highlights all the strengths of the band: vocal harmony, pop rhythms, raunchy guitar interlaced with a keyboard backbone. The songs run the gamut from exuberant to somber while staying true to their rock roots. Those People will continue to bring their style of rock music to the stage and expand their fan base as they plan an East Coast tour in support of their EP—while continuing to write new music for a full-length due out next year.
