Gillmor just might be the band that ends the rock n roll civil war between Northern and Southern California.
Sacramento based singer-songwriter Ryan Gillmor struck up a long distance relationship with the orphaned members of a Southern California based band and there’s been no stopping them ever since.
Most recently, Gillmor’s song “Hey” has been selected as the main theme song for Fox’s highly anticipated new comedy series “Unhitched” created by the Farrelly Brothers (Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber); the show’s first season kicks off March 2008.
The impossible-not-to-sing-along-to “Hey”, was co-written by Sugarcult front-man Tim Pagnotta and is currently in regular rotation on Sacramento’s KWOD fm radio station. In addition to “Hey”, the EP features such standout tracks as “Without You” a rain-soaked lament of lost love; and the band’s irresistible upbeat anthem of post-adolescent redemption, “Kids will be Kids” which features guest vocals from Plain White T’s singer Tom Higgenson. All of Gillmor’s songs are instant classics that capture Ryan’s adventurous yet still down to Earth approach to modern pop rock songwriting framed by the band’s distinct sonic chemistry.
Gillmor has built itself up brick by brick simply letting the music do the talking; but now with the new EP, the upcoming TV show theme song, and the addition to radio, the people are talking back and it looks like Gillmor’s moment has arrived.
