All the Living and the Dead ~ Mesmer ~ Long Spells

All the Living and the Dead is a five-piece, indie pop band from Philadelphia that blends the energy of rock with multi-layered vocal harmonies. Longtime friends and neighbors, Krista, Marc, Scott, and Tim solidified the idea of working on songs together throughout 2020 with the lineup filled out by early 2022 when Doug joined to handle drums. Members have played (and still play) in and around the Philly area in bands like The Bigger Lovers, Mason Porter, Missing Palmer West, The Bret Tobias Set, and Space Ate Mafia.

Long Spells is a musical act comprised of three caucasian males of varying ages that reside in the city of Philadelphia and possess mid socioeconomic statuses. Each member works a job unrelated to music that inconsistently assists with creating a sense of financial stability within their lives. Long Spells is a musical and creative outlet that can help them find stimulation, regulate their mood, and live in a manner congruent with their desire to be true to themselves. The members have many similar musical interests and social/cultural connections that have brought them together over the years. Long Spells enjoy making indie pop/rock that allows for experimentation with sound textures, melodies, and rhythms. Audience members at their shows have been observed nodding their heads and tapping their feet to the music. After performances, some showgoers have been overheard telling the band members, “Hey, great set!” “I really liked the third song.” and “I had a hard time hearing the lyrics.”
