BOSTON, MA - For the last 5 years, Brendan Wright has spent a hell of a lot of time realizing their passion project Tiberius, recording and performing in basements, warehouses, bedrooms, and from time to time, in their car. Cacophonous and catchy, Wright’s recordings blend indie punk, alt country and psychedelia. While conversational, yet confessional songwriting may not be a style particularly new across the modern DIYsphere’ - Wright hopes their efforts to be genuine.
“I’m constantly afraid of being found out, so whenever I can, I just try to write honestly. I’m really flawed. My music is really flawed. I'd rather it just be what it is, than try to make it something that it’s not”.
In the live ‘rock show format,’ Wright leans on collaborators Kelven “KP” Polite (bass) and Sam Blumenstile (drums), to bring their journalistic blend of farm emo to life. In 2024, the band called on Pat King (pedal steel), and Harley Spring (guitar) to help broaden the band’s already diverse catalog. From the angry to the ambient, the Tiberius live show offers intensity and heart, with an even warmer and rustic flair than before.
Tiberius pulls from a broad range of influences including the likes of The Flaming Lips, Car Seat Headrest, Arthur Verocai, Sleater Kinney, and Courtney Barnett among countless others.
