Bryan Banks' newest song "The Less You Know" is the perfect follow up to his 2017 album The Sudden Sounds of Urgency. It's an emotional soft rock song that rings similar to artists like Living Color, Van Halen, Rush, and Def Leopard. Luckily, his overpowering desire to further his creativity was strong enough for him to go solo. Much like his album, "The Less You Know' explores what it's like in a relationship, about getting started. "I had a burning need to convey the message of surviving the circumstances around you and rising up to be better.," he says of "The Less You Know," "The writing process can be gut wrenching and you need to be honest with yourself but also be able to take advice and help, but also stay strong to your vision."
As a drummer for Owen's Grudge, a popular local melodic hard rock band from Northeastern Pennsylvania during the early 2000's- Banks provided solid groove oriented drumming and rich vocal harmonies for the group. A shift in the bands direction lead him to pursue other musical ventures, which included accompanying drums and percussion for some of the areas top acoustic acts as well as filling in the drum chair as needed for other local bands. An overwhelming desire to write original material again lead him to start putting together subtle guitar parts eventually leading to the genesis of the solo CD project "The Sudden Sounds Of Urgency". With songs featuring heavy melodic guitar tones, soulful vocals and a driving back beat this artist just might become of your new favorites.
Of The Sudden Sounds of Urgency, he says "The inspiration for the album was an overview of looking at life where I currently was and coming to an understand how my friendships and relationships were going and changes that needed to be made. Basically it's about being true to yourself and your mistakes but also realizing your strength and where you right and how one day we're one of things and the next day the other. These Decision is about people having a narrow view of situations and taken a selfish slanted opinion or approach to overall things in life. Manifested by whatever troubles or experiences have shaped them."
