Artist description The band likes to call it "Rural Music". This however, can be a little misleading because the sound is pretty diverse. Sometimes it's a little more pop...other times it's a little more rock...or country...or experimental...or some combination of all of these. Though decidedly unfocused, the Siamese Left sound is not without some strands of continuity, namely Cliff Lee's guitar and Bate's and Smith's vocal harmonies.

Music Style anglo-americana pop rock with some country leanings

Musical Influences Too many to list...everything we've ever heard...I guess?

Similar Artists Kinda like a more straight-forward, rural, REM with strong Beatle, Bob Dylan and Niel Young influence. Plus, a pinch of Belew-era King Crimson....and a small trace of country twang

Artist History Formed in 1985 by four musician friends from tiny Cochran Georgia, Siamese Left has survived rural obscurity. After more than 15 years together, this veteran group has finally released a debut. The 19 track "Blown Away Fools" was co-produced by Rolling Stones keyboardist, Chuck Leavell, along with veteran southern rock producer, Johnny Sandlin, Nick White and the band.
