1. Sherwood was an alternative rock/indie rock band from San Luis Obispo, California, United States. The band formed in late 2002 while several founding members were attending Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. With Nate Henry on bass and vocals, Dan Koch on drums, and Chris Armstrong on guitar, the group took the moniker "Sherwood" because of an inside band joke about creating an album that synced with Disney's 1973 "Robin Hood." With the addition of drummer Joe Greenetz in 2003, the band's lineup changed, and Dan Koch became the band's second guitar and their main songwriter. Later that year, keyboardist Chris Keene joined the members of Sherwood, and when Chris left the band to play for Number One Gun, Mike Leibovich took his place about a month after.
They released an independent self-titled EP in 2004 before securing a deal with SideCho Records in late 2004. They recorded "Sing, But Keep Going" in January 2005 at Sonikwire Studios in Irvine, California. Produced by Michael Rosas, it was released on May 31, 2005. Later that same year, founding member and guitarist Chris Armstrong announced that he was leaving the band. His position was initially filled by Lucas Starr, then their friend Gabe Dutton. Finally, guitarist Dave Provenzano joined the band in 2007.
They released a five-song EP titled "Summer EP" on May 8, 2006 which was distributed on Absolute Punk. The EP was also released on CD with a few extra songs and sold on tour.
Since the band's contract with SideCho Records was only a one-record deal, they were given much interest from many noteworthy record labels. In early November 2006, they signed a contract with Myspace Records, who released their sophomore effort "A Different Light" on March 13, 2007. They wrote "A Different Light" in Mexico and recorded it at Motor Studios in San Francisco, CA.
On September 13, 2009 the band released their 3rd album "QU" in the United States. The album was recorded in Valley Village, CA at Seagrass Studios with producer Brad Wood (Sunny Day Real Estate, Ben Lee, Far, Say Anything, Pete Yorn, Smashing Pumpkins) at the helm.
The band's original sound can be compared to "the Get Up Kids meets Mineral meets Further Seems Further," but since their founding in 2002, they've come to develop a sound that blends old-fashioned rock and progressive alternative, with ties to standards set by the Beach Boys.
In 2010 Sherwood announced at a show that the band would be releasing a new album in the summer of 2012. However, in early 2012 the band announced their official break up. On the band's Facebook, they said that they preferred to dedicate the rest of their lives to their families.
In September 2015, after a three and a half year disbandment, a campaign to fund the band's fourth studio album was created on Indiegogo.com and the goal of $20,000 was reached in just five days. The new album, "Some Things Never Leave You" was released June 17, 2016.
The band's line up includes:
Nate Henry – Lead vocals, bass guitar
Joe Greenetz – Drums
Dan Koch – Lead Guitar, Background vocals
2. Sherwood was an experimental post-hardcore band based out of Wisconsin and South Carolina, United States.
Comprised of singer/guitarist/bassist Alan Brucke and guitarist/drummer Andrew Glasscock. They were based out of South Carolina and Wisconsin, respectively. The group first made contact in December of 2021 when Andrew reached out to Alan via YouTube comments on a Dance Gavin Dance vocal cover. Since then they have written and released 3 studio EPs and one album while finding a sound that suits their specific skillsets and tastes. The pair uses ambient, noodly guitar-work and deep, booming bass-lines to set a mood while the grit of the vocals and the busy thumping of the drums drives the music forward and makes a statement of cathartic unrest.
Influences include but are not limited to: Movements, Will Swan, Circa Survive, Balance And Composure, Royal Coda, La Dispute, Silverstein.

What Lucy Found There
Sherwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And could it be a kind of sign informing me that I've been out of line,
All the pages in this book, are giving me an interesting look,
And can they see beneath my eyes, and if they could I wonder what they'd find,
And I won't feel alone tonight, cause I can see the candle glowing bright,
And the shadows and the light, will keep me company tonight,
The first verse of Sherwood's "What Lucy Found There" delves into the sense of paranoia and self-reflection that often plagues us when we feel like we're not living up to our own standards. The imagery of the leaves forming words and accusing the singer of being "out of line" suggests that maybe they feel as though they've let themselves down in some way or another. The second half of that verse introduces a book that's "giving [him] an interesting look", which implies that maybe there's something he's not seeing about himself that others are. The question of what they'd find beneath his eyes adds even more intrigue to this already mysterious line.
Line by Line Meaning
All the leaves upon this tree, are forming words and pointing them at me,
The leaves on the tree seem to spell out messages that are directed towards me, suggesting that I may have strayed from the right path.
And could it be a kind of sign informing me that I've been out of line,
I interpret these signs as a warning that I may have deviated from my goals and I need to take corrective actions.
All the pages in this book, are giving me an interesting look,
The book captures my imagination, and its contents hold some relevance that could be a key to unlock the mystery of my life.
And can they see beneath my eyes, and if they could I wonder what they'd find,
I wonder if the book is privy to my deepest emotions and, if so, what answers it contains that could reveal the truths about myself to me
And I won't feel alone tonight, cause I can see the candle glowing bright,
The warm glow of the candle provides me with comfort and makes me feel that I am not alone in my thoughts and actions.
And the shadows and the light, will keep me company tonight,
The interplay of shadows and light evokes a feeling of companionship that gives me solace, making the night seem less lonely.
