Bells is an instrumental indie-post rock band that has shared the stage with a variety of notable acts such as The XX, Mewithoutyou, Caspian, RJD2, Washed Out, Sea Wolf, and August Burns Red. Their music has also been featured on TV networks such as MTV and ABC Family, as well as product ads for HTC, Thinkgeek, Lytro Illum, and more. Bells started with two friends, Sean Hennessey and Jon Hershey, who have been producing and performing music together since 2006. While initially still members of other bands August Burns Red and This or the Apocalypse, it was impossible for the two to chase Bells in any serious capacity until 2011. In 2011, Bells wrote and recorded their version of “Pangaea” for the deluxe edition of August Burns Red’s album “Leveler” which broke into the Top 10 rankings of Billboard's Top 200. In the months following the release of Leveler, Bells started writing and recording their first album at Hennessey's Studio in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At this time, Jon and Sean asked close friends Tim Kettering and Joe Terranova to join the band. On August 28th, 2012, Bells released their debut album “Our Forest, Our Empire”. Bells performed in support of the album with this line-up, along with August Burns Red’s drummer Matt Greiner as an additional live member, through 2013. Finally, March 2013 marked the arrival of new full time drummer Toby Pool (former This or The Apocalypse), which leads us to Bells as they are today. Currently they are working on new material for their 2nd album, which is expected for release in early 2016.
