Deep Blue Something

Deep Blue Something is an American alternative rock band formed in Denton, Texas in 1993. the band is composed of Todd Pipes (lead vocals and bass), his brother Toby Pipes (guitar, backing vocals), Kirk Tatom (guitar, backing vocals), Clay Bergus (guitar, backing vocals), and John Kirtland (drums). The band's debut album, "11th Song," was released in 1993 followed by "Home" in 1995, "Byzantium" in 1998 and "Deep Blue Something" in 2000. Each album showcases the band's songwriting and musicianship, earning them a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim. Deep Blue Something has also earned a reputation as a dynamic and engaging live band, having toured extensively throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. The band began recording a new album, Lunar Phase in 2024. While not a concept album, Lunar Phase was created with a very clear direction in mind. Instead of falling into the trap of trying to sound current, DBS decided to shape the sound of the record to feel as if it had been recorded in 1992—in the glory days of jangly underground guitar bands, from which the band had drawn so much inspiration when solidifying their sound. This was the time of Material Issue, Teenage Fanclub, The Charlatans, and Sugar—when everyone was waiting to see if The Stone Roses would ever make another record. . . before grunge took over. Drawing once again from these early sources of inspiration, Lunar Phase was created with that wonderful time in mind.
