Artist biographySatya Graha is composed of seasoned singer-songwriting team B.B. Mayes
and David Vella (also lead vocalist) with vocalist Anna Bensch. These
aren't teenagers bemoaning their existence. Nor are they fashionably
negative, belligerent or morose. This is situational music with a wry
sense of humour. The band's key message is one of perseverance. It's
about that invisible something that spurs you on when the easy way out
is so appealing. Then again, the band's name means ?soul force.' Taking
the name from a belief of Gandhi, who believed a satya graha would grow
and become more courageous the more a person is crushed.
Satya Graha's debut EP "Under the Skin, Vol 1" is filled with songs
about slices of life and peoples' take on their own responses. Their
solid lyrics, distinctive vocals, insightful arrangements and organic
production values deliver a great ambience. "Kali's Tongue", "Roanoke",
"Lunar Dreams" & "Torch Bearer's Salute" are natural singles. The
successes Graha has enjoyed to-date has been no less organic than the
band itself. A growing underground interest in America has spread on the
underground to the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan and Australia. No
fanfare involved?just simple word of mouth. As the band says: "Mankind
has been singing about everything under the sun for ? oh ? at least
50,000 years. So let's face it ? it's all been said before.
It's kind of
hard to come up with new topics to sing about when you look at it that
way. So we just have a different approach to singing about the same old
stuff. We just write and play stuff from our perspective and give it our
own little twist. It works for us and people really respond to it.
That's what counts." "Under the Skin" makes you realise that the name
Satya Graha is the perfect fit for this kind of music. The easy road has
been avoided.
