Galactic Conquest
Flicker Records' pop/punk trio, Eleventyseven, quickly became one of the top bands in their genre when they released their debut album ...And The Land of Fake Believe in early 2006. This year, Matt, Caleb and Jonathan are letting everyone know that the country is not enough, by going on a Galactic Conquest. And it's simply stellar. (Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout)
Driven by the collective creative synergy of Matt Langston (vocals, guitar), Caleb Satterfield (bass), Jonathan Stephens (drums) and the Rockbot (keys, rude electronic noises), Eleventyseven's latest Flicker Records project, Galactic Conquest, pushes further into that same musical arena, adding a new dance pop sub-current to the pop punk of their first effort. The adventurous sonic outlook is evident in songs like the hyper-danceable "Love In Your Arms" (written "as a huge pick-me-up for anyone having a bad day, month, or life"), the hauntingly melodic "It's Beautiful," (born out of Langston's realization that he could "stop striving to be close to God and just accept that I am close to Him"), and the chronically upbeat "Happiness" (a song about breaking up with "the most fickle girlfriend of all: Happiness").
