Merging melodic song craft with psychedelically infused sounds, Sunwards music moves in a refreshing direction somewhere between indie-pop and space rock. While their compositions are steeped in lush, heady audioscapes painted by atmospheric violin, guitar and synthesizers, Sunward never abandons the most important element of a rock song, the melody. Drawing influence from such contemporaries as Grandaddy, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and the traditions of Pink Floyd and The Beatles, the resulting style is a quirky retro-pop that is both cerebral and catchy. Sunward began with vocalist/ violinist / guitarist Doug Kershaw (Tabula Rasa, Blender) & keyboardist/guitarist Greg Price (Deathray Davies). Sunward's current members hail from bands that have toured nationally and heard their CDs spun on college and commercial radio across the country. The newest lineup includes Doug Kershaw, Jerko Dabelic, David Perry, and Josh Hoover (Chemistry Set, Johnny Loyd Rollins). Sunward have released their full-length album entitled, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Horses," and are currently playing shows and recording a follow-up EP.
