In Lieu Of

In Lieu Of is an eclectic, alternative band that consists of Shaharoh (vocals, piano and lyrics), Brian Chism (Guitar), Ryan (Drums) and Jeremy (Bass guitar) based in Los Angeles. At first Brian and Shaharoh started working together as a side-project their own solo careers. Shaharoh was drawn to Brian's intricate and melodic guitar riffs while Brian found Shaharoh's melodies and laden lyrics the perfect match for his songs. The two began writing and generated a unique and captivating sound. After being asked to perform at a few different venues around Los Angeles, they decided to combine forces in order to create a dynamic duo, thus In Lieu Of was born. After a couple of months of playing as a duo, they decided to expand the band and create a richer sound that would take their music to a higher-level. This is when Ryan and Jeremy joined the band adding the core rhythm section.
