Conveyor is an American art rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The band consists of T.J. Masters (vocals, guitar), Alan Busch (vocals, guitar), Evan Garfield (backing vocals, drums), and Michael Pedron (backing vocals, bass).
They have released two full-length albums as well as a number of self-released singles and EPs.
History The band was formed in early 2011 when its members, who met as musicians in Gainesville, Florida, moved to Brooklyn, New York. They began self-releasing records and performing around New York City in the spring of 2011. Conveyor released their eponymous debut full-length record on Paper Garden Records in 2012.
Conveyor's musical style has been compared to that of Talking Heads and Dirty Projectors, with "a quasi-African lilt that happens to be bent by... odd meters."
The band has recorded live sessions for Grooveshark, Daytrotter and the Bonnaroo Music Festival. It has also been featured on numerous press outlets, including The New York Times, NPR, Filter, The Deli Magazine, and MTV Hive.
