Their style of music combines the styles of rock, funk, and reggae while including a modern sound, and classic feel. The five members of 22 Foot Drop each have different musical backgrounds which blend several styles of music into their own structured sound.
22 Foot Drop formed during their first year in high school. They began practicing as a four-piece band, learning different covers like 'The Ocean' by Led Zeppelin and 'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix. At the time, the band featured Winslow Marshall (guitar/vocals), Peter Clark (guitar), Harry Yates (bass), and Brendan Killarney (drums). It wasn't until a year later when they added Devon Barley (lead vocals, keyboard) to the group, giving them a more advanced sound.
With the addition of Devon, 22 Foot Drop began to move forward as a band by continuing to create their musical identity. By their third year together, they began to develop their own original sound. Many of their songs were written with an upbeat tempo that included lyrics about different issues both politically and socially. Each member incorporated a different skill set that combined to make one impressive sound. With this in mind, the bands' originals began to show a significant change. The band began writing songs that had a more texture and meaning. With a combination of creative solos, catchy vocals and alternative instruments, 22 Foot Drop obtained their own unique style of music.
In January of 2009, they began to record their first full-length album. They spent twelve sessions at a professional studio in Rhode Island. After five months of recording and mixing, 22 Foot Drop put the finishing touches on ten new original songs. Once completed, the album was entitled "Rally Point" and released May 20th, 2009.
"Rally Point" illustrates a unique style of creativity. Songs like "Depth of Memory" and "Barriers Down" show 22 Foot Drop has more than one side to their music. This album also features a combination of different instruments. "Anywhere But Here" has a horn section that gives the song a more upbeat ska feel. "Come Home" features a string quartet, playing an arrangement written by the band to give the song a more textured sound.
Now, 22 Foot Drop plans to promote their music by playing more concerts and selling their new album. The band hopes to release an EP mid-summer that will have songs that were written after ‘Rally Point’s release.
