about
Palace In Thunderland was formed by Andy Beresky (guitar/vocals), Monte Newman (guitar/vocals), and Adam Abrams (bass/keyboards) as a new musical entity after the three had worked together in the Western Massachusetts indie rock band Skyball. Andy and Monte began working on the initial material around 1998, focusing on a heavier and more psychedelic sound. Newman left for school in Florida, and the two were left with only a rough demo tape of two songs, "Sonic Throne" and "Into The Maelstrom." Between 1998-2000, Beresky continued writing and brought in Abrams to help flesh out new arrangements. When Newman returned to Western Massachusetts in 2000, all three resumed rehearsals and writing, and eventually John Belcastro was added on drums. The initial material was heavily influenced by older acts such as Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Hawkwind, and also brought in more modern influences from the growing stoner rock movement of the time, such as Monster Magnet, Kyuss, and Queens of the Stone Age. The defining feature of the music, however, remained the melodic guitar work that Beresky and Newman had cultivated from the influence of 90's alternative rock bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, and Fugazi. The new incarnation was named Palace In Thunderland after a famous satirical line written by the poet Dylan Thomas. An early four song demo recorded by the band featured the songs "Sonic Throne", "Into The Maelstrom", "Last Trip To The Sun", and an old Skyball song,
