About the Artist
Gavin Dunaway met Kate Rears while playing in a goth/industrial band. Kate, playing cello in the group, and Gavin immediately hit it off through a mutual love of ‘90s alternative rock bands such as the Smashing Pumpkins, HUM, Failure, and Stone Temple Pilots. They began writing songs together in early 2004 with Kate switching to bass. At first they jokingly called themselves “The Alphabetical Order,” but the name stuck. Gavin’s old friend Ben Reynolds was brought in on drums (replaced in 2005 by Chris McKinney). The trio quickly recorded a demo, and Gabe Fry was brought in on guitar and keyboards to fill out the sound. In a matter of months the band had played DC mainstays such as the Velvet Lounge, Warehouse Next Door, the Black Cat, and DC9, and were receiving more show offers than they could accept. The Alphabetical Order joined the now-defunct Washington band union, Local 221 and signed their demo to the upstart label District Records. They began to receive airplay on local and international internet radio stations and their song “Pillars of Salt” appeared on the soundtrack to an independent film. The band shared the stage and became friends with many DC vets like Gist, Los Hermanos Rodriguez, and Run Silent Run Deep. Chatter about their high-energy, almost chaotic live performances spread across the DC rock scene, leading to interviews in DCist.com and the Washington CityPaper. All the while, the Order’s fan base expanded enough to help them win the first two rounds of the Emergenza music festival and play the Washington final at the 9:30 Club. In June of 2005, The Alphabetical Order released “The Unimpeachable EP,” a six-song album recorded at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia. The album, produced by T.J. Lipple and Chad Clark (Medications), captures the intensity of the Order’s live performances while playing up the swift dynamic changes in the songs and the band’s pop sensibilities. Gavin and Kate switch off on lead vocals and harmonize their distinctive voices while Gabe’s guitar flourishes flow on top of Ben’s aggressive drumming. While the group’s 90s alternative influences are on clear display, the band also experiments with feedback and noise and new-wave style synths. All in all, the album is an exciting release from one of DC’s most interesting up and coming bands.
