Bias Tape's high energy indie pop songs are original and creative and consistently have the quality of dropping a listener midway into some intriguing story. Lead singer, Amal Bisharat, is a highly trained vocalist with a unique voice, and she is backed by an extremely excellent group of musicians.
"Indie folk crafted with love. You'll want to pour a tall glass of this band, drink deep, then take home the savory songcrafting and baroque flavors Bias Tape puts into their tasteful set of live music."
-KELLY WARNER (Hotel Eden), Columbus, OH
"I don't think I've ever heard of a band name that refers to sewing. Because recording uses "tape bias", but "bias tape" is what you use to stabilize the edge of fabric."
-WALTER UNDERWOOD, Palo Alto, CA
"Everyone here has "Marco Polo" indelibly on the nugget and we love you!"
-ROSE KITAPCHI (Full Circle, KPFA 94.1FM), Berkeley, CA
"I think you got it going on, keep up your art!"
-CHRIS SPROUL, San Francisco, CA
"I downloaded "A Part" and its brilliant. I am stuck on 'Roads' and 'The Long Shadow Song.' So I am tryng to get a group of friends to come see Bias Tape tomorrow night at the The Night Light. We all go to the same yoga class. Do you go on stage at 9:00 or is it more like 9:15?"
-TYLER PALMER, Oakland, CA
"Enjoyed Bias Tape's set. The singer is a better looking version of Edith Piaf. Excellent voice as well. Has the band considered writing some French tracks?"
-ANONYMOUS, Oakland, CA
"Great job Amal, please let [Bottom of the Hill] know I will need a private dressing room stocked with a case of Heineken(bottled), a shrimp cocktail platter(tails off), a bowl of green M&M's(letters removed), and steamed hot towels(not too hot though)."
-ROBERT WONG, (Bias Tape Bassist), OAKLAND, CA
"When it rains it positively pours at your studio! Wonderful songs! You and your band sound great!"
-MARTHA BISHARAT, Whitefish, MT
"Bias Tape always fab!"
