Neo

"We're a band named after a YouTube video. I like that." Nathan Rodriguez, of Seattle's So Pitted, is referring to a viral clip of a surfer, standing on the shore talking to a reporter about the waves he just caught. The band then go on to say, "That surfer gets carried away talking about what he loves, because to him that's all that really matters. 'So Pitted' is following through instead of bailing. You can take that abstraction and repurpose it to anything you like."

The band first bonded over a shared love of alternative music like; Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails and The Mars Volta. Their music is fuzzy, angular, throbbing, pounding, yet catchy. Songs crash over and over, turning under themselves like waves. Neo was co-produced & mixed by So Pitted & Dylan Wall and recorded at The Old Fire House, Media Lab, Spruce Haus, (the band's practice space), and Tastefully Loud in Seattle. Neo was engineered by Dylan Wall at Tastefully Loud and mastered by Eric Boulanger at The Bakery in Los Angeles.
