Welcome.

Background Noise is the brainchild of an Arizonan pianist - Riley - and a Californian punk rock bassist - Jimmy. The mission is simple -- to put the most understated instruments in rock/punk/most music in the spotlight.

The first song they composed as a team was a rendition of "¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl)" by Green Day off the album 21st Century Breakdown, using only the pianist's by-ear playing and heavily modified bass tabs.

Thus far, they haven't composed an original song, but it's in the works.
