Dan and Charles are the masterminds behind the psychedelic alternative/indie rock duo, The Impliers, who’s beats, uniquely mistuned guitar, and synth textures have given them a spot in the Denver underground music scene.

They began making music together at age 15 and by age 17, their songs earned placement on compilations alongside a diverse set of popular acts such as Of Montreal, Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Converge. Eventually, the duo embarked on their own creative paths into mastering self-production but remained connected through shared interests in art, mental health, and the unknown. Each contribute their own skills and artistry that seamlessly interlocks with the other and allows their music to go from tight, vivid arrangements to raw, ethereal ambience and back again.

They just released their single “Bad Bad Man,” from their upcoming album Cocoon. This alternative rock song boasts of an electric guitar melody and catchy synthetic beats that are like that of Neon Trees or MGMT meets The Beach Boys or Tame Impala. While sonically the song is infectious, the lyrics take a darker turn. They sing about retribution, exploring the more vulnerable and darker side of human nature. “Bad Bad Man” connects with people deeply for a variety of personal reasons, as we all know, have been impacted by, or even are a “Bad Bad Man.”

Dan and Charles pull the deepest-possible expression from each other and turn them into musical ruminations that somehow evoke both deep levels of emotive contemplation and the urge to dance. As The Impliers, they bring an art/pop/noir surrealism to contemporary music that’s uniquely refreshing.

I fell in love with music when I first picked up a guitar at age 8. When I played, my friends and family would smile and spill with joy over the music I played, even though it was never Grammy quality. While my music career never made it past high school, my love for music never waivered. I loved the feeling of bringing a smile to someone's face through music and wanted to keep that passion going. So, I took it upon myself to continue to support and promote artists by writing about their music. This way, I can support my personal passion for music and bring entertain and joy to others through music.  Outside my love for music, I do enjoy a good hike and being in the outdoors. My favorite place that I've hiked is in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. I love to travel too. I've been to Costa Rica, Vancouver, BC, and England, but the best place by far is Germany on Oktoberfest. I liken that experience to being in New Orleans on Mardi Gras. I like a good book now and then, but I'm more of a streaming fiend. I live for crime docuseries on Netflix, veterinary shows on National Geographic, and re-watching Scrubs on Hulu.
