About the Artist

The story behind Argo (ana-them records) begins four years ago in Seattle; when a group of friends (Justin, Scott and Matt) started the revival of a musical idea not heard in some time. Argo takes their inspiration from the likes of Sea and Cake, Tortoise and Pinback to name but a few. Their "indie" rock sound has gained them a steadily growing audience throughout the northwest.

Now Justin, Scott and Matt are joined by Jon Wooster-Bass and Vocals. They have released an E.P. titled "The Fall" in 2003 (with regular airplay on Seattle station KEXP) and are currently promoting their debut full length CD "Jet Packs for Everyone". The Fender Rhodes plays a dominant role in this CD. It should also be mentioned that in a live show setting; you would see these guys trade instruments leaving someone else in command of the keys...pretty cool really. Some of the Seattle venues played include the Crocodile, Graceland, the Sunset, Sit n Spin, the Hideaway and the Mars Bar.

Perhaps the best thing about Argo is their commitment to their musical ideas. What you hear in their music is their dedication to each song. This band simply draws is strength from each other. It’s easy to see and it’s easy to hear.

This review is from: Jet Packs For Everyone (Audio CD)

I am the owner of Ana-Them Records. My label released this CD and we've been pleased with the results. Firstly, Argo "Jet Packs for Everyone" is one of hopefully many CD's the band. As of Jan 2007 Argo has 4 CD's out. Argo: Attack of the Firebots is their latest release to date (Fish the Cat Records 2006 release). You can find this CD here at Amazon.com while supplies are available. Argo: Needs (EP released by Ana-Them Records) was released in 2005. and Argo: The Fall (EP released by Recovery Records) was released in 2003.

Argo is truly a great band. They are serious about music and full of energy. When I first heard them before I released "Jet Packs for Everyone"; I knew instantly these guys were special. My favorite song on this CD is "No Solutions". Scott (former Argo member...lifetime friend) delivers a very warm and thoughtful performance that continues to inspire me.
