Artist Synthetic Elements

  • Synthetic Elements

Denver’s Synthetic Elements—the self-proclaimed Official Party Band Of Colorado—might not be the hippest band to pop up in the local scene, but that’s its strength: Playing a refreshingly uncool fusion of pop-punk, ska, and even a bit of acoustic folk, the group has built a strong following in town based on bouncy hooks and a tone both goofy and earnest. Synthetic Elements’ latest release is the 2009 full-length Trashed Out Paradise, which was recorded at Fort Collins’ Blasting Room with help from the Descendents’ Bill Stevenson and follows up the outfit’s 2006 debut, Standing Still.
