Innerpartysystem have made an impression on audiences in the UK already with their debut headline tour including several sold out shows and high profile slots on festivals such as Projekt Revolution and 02 Wireless where their music reached thousands of people. The band has also enjoyed enthusiastic support from the likes of Scuzz TV, Kerrang!, Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley and Dan Carter. ‘Don’t Stop’s first outing as a single in 2008 gained them the position of most requested track on Scuzz and a Zane Lowe session You can

The four members of innerpartysystem hail from the small towns that surround Reading, Pennsylvania. The rural, stark nature of the landscape has certainly had an effect on the band’s sound which incorporates throbbing electronic beats with the aesthetic of a rock band whom, like Nine Inch Nails, Pendulum and Prodigy, aren’t afraid to mix styles and mess with the formula. Drummer Jared Piccone thinks the small-town atmosphere comes through in the music – “I think a lot of that small-town angst comes through in the album. When we travel, people always seem to make a big deal out of us being from this small town in the middle of nowhere, which is true, but when you’re living there and you grew up there you don’t really think about it like that, it’s just home. I think when people hear a song like ‘This Town, Your Grave’ that vibe of small town desperation is definitely clear.” Innerpartysystem worked with a stellar line-up of producers and engineers on their self-titled debut album – Stuart Price (Madonna, Missy Elliott, The Killers, Gwen Stefani), Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins,
My Bloody Valentine) and Mark ‘Spike’ Stent (Marilyn Manson, Linkin Park, Goldfrapp).
