Bishop Allen

Bishop Allen is a band from New York City that was formed in 2003 by Justin Rice and Christian Rudder while they were both studying at Harvard University. The group features a variety of lightly arranged songs, where you can clearly hear every instrument in the mix. Generally the guitars form the main counter melody to the band's unique vocal arrangements that are accompanied by steady light drum loops. Bishop Allen released its debut album Charm School in 2003, where every instrument on the record is played by Rice and Rudder.
