Ian and The Deep Sheets are a Portland Power Trio. Born of an equal love for 60's garage rock, 80's post-punk and timeless country classics, the Sheets deliver provocative songwriting wrapped in a kaleidoscope of psychedelia. Ian's post-apocalyptic vision is made into sound via a thunderous rhythm section and a rebel yell.
The Sheets' latest album, Lick the Razor Clean, was recorded at Arby Road Studios from Fall 2022 to Spring 2023. The album wrestles with topics of forced isolation, personal change, and uncertain future with humor, wit, and good old-fashioned American rage.
The music is inspired by the likes of Mudhoney, Otis Redding, and PJ Harvey. Fans have drawn parallels between the band and the music of Fruit Bats, The Walkmen, Violent Femmes and Killer era Alice Cooper.
2023 album, home to The Other Theme to Taxi, Angela. And others.
Ball Simon
Yes, that Ball Simon. 2021.
Ascend Up
Ian and his rowdy Deep Sheets bring the beer and the rock on their debut, Ascend Up. Guitars crash, saxes soar, and gongs bang on this boozy rocker! Check the lyrics, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll miss someone dear to you.
