Autumn Twilights is a 6-member hip-hop and rock-infused band that hails from Los Angeles. The group was originally co-founded in 2008 by Phil Galanty, (vocalist, producer, songwriter) and Scott Shryack (lead guitarist, songwriter), when the two were seeking random roommates to live with in Long Beach, California. In the end, Phil and Scott not only found someone to share an apartment with--they also found a fulfilling musical partnership. They immediately began writing and performing together, and also decided that their ultimate vision would include putting a full band together. A few years later, the two were introduced to the very talented Danny DeLeon (drummer), who had already established himself in the ranks of the Southern California music community. Phil and Scott were sure that Danny would be a perfect addition to the band, and in beginning to work with one another as a team of three, they knew they had indeed made the perfect choice. Next, in January of 2011, the stars continued to align for Autumn Twilights. Phil ran into Nathan Smith, a friend he knew back in Washington D.C. as a kid. Now a seasoned bass player performing across LA, Nathan, would prove to be another perfect match for the band. Along with Nathan, the band also picked up Mike Connell, an incredibly talented lyricist/producer, who would prove to be a powerful addition to not only the sound of Autumn Twilights, but to the on-stage presence they were reaching for. Last but not least, the band was looking to fill one final spot--one for a female vocalist. They ended up reaching out to Arielle Worona, an extremely talented up-and-coming singer/songwriter in the Los Angeles music scene with a heavy background in musical theater. The new group clicked instantly as songwriting and musical soul mates. As a whole, they were greatly influenced by the likes of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Gorillaz, as well as motown, hip-hop, punk and electronic music.
From there, Autumn Twilights took their music in a bold, innovative, new direction: they added a great deal of positivity and melody to their tunes, thickened the arrangements, and always ensured they used intricate lyrics. Today, the band continues to throw itself on the cutting edge of sound. Autumn Twilights aspire to be a breath of fresh air in music, while also creating a passionate and thought-provoking songwriting spirit that people have always been drawn to.
Autumn Twilight’s music is firmly entrenched in hip-hop, but it constantly tries to break musical barriers by combining itself with all different musical forms. As a result, Autumn Twilights truly transcend musical genre categorization and have a unique sound that is all their own. Galanty explains that this is intentional, both lyrically and musically: "[Our] record has no classification. We didn't go into this with hip-hop or rock on our minds," says Galanty. "We were just thinking of good songs, good music. We didn't want to say or make anything typical, like, 'our style is this, or my rhymes are like that.’ We just wanted to make classic tracks that could stand the test of time.”
