Hailing from central Ohio, Bel Auburn combines elements of Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, and Jimmy Eat World with a sense of melody and texture we've rarely found in fellow indie rock outfits. Our music fully embraces the thoughtfulness of our lyrics and the exhilaration of our live show to form songs that leave the listener at once moved and refreshed. Our vision of things is pretty unique, but at the same time, those listening to the music are left with a sense of familiarity, like that first smell of cut grass in early spring, as if we've all known the songs by heart all along and only needed to be reminded how simply good music can feel.

Bel Auburn has been playing together for a year and a half. After putting out a solid E.P. on their own, they signed to The Damselfly Records in August 2003. CATHEDRALS, our first full length, was formally released on March 25, 2004. The band is currently playing out across the Midwest, intermittently practicing in a burned out church building and writing their second full length, a project that continues on in the current vein of combining fiction and songwriting toward a unified end.
