As bassist for hardcore punk band Devour, one wouldn’t suspect Dave Yarwood to front a power pop band strongly influenced by Weezer’s Blue Album and Pinkerton years.

“For the uninitiated, Devour is a hardcore punk band. It’s just really noisy, aggressive, angry, hateful stuff,” Yarwood explains. “I’d always been playing bass in bands — I played guitar for a long time, but I never really played it much in a band. I finally bought a new guitar and I was like, ‘I want to play guitar in a band … that sounds like Weezer.’”
And with that, Yarwood took the task to Devour drummer Matt LaValle and Antibubbles was born. Now, Yarwood is joined by drummer Seth Beard, bassist Geoff Schilling and keyboardist Anne Tomasevich.
“We’re not against bubbles, I want to clear that up right now,” Yarwood asserts. “We’re totally pro-bubbles — we support bubbles.”
He jokes, “Geoff kind of hates bubbles a little bit.”
Despite the poppier (pop/bubbles, get it?) sound, one thing Antibubbles shares with Devour are dark lyrics. A familiar tale of a boy with a broken heart, pouring his soul onto lyric sheets.
“The first batch of songs we wrote starting in 2008 are all very thematically related because they’re all about the same thing,” Yarwood says. “They’re about one particular relationship I was in, but I don’t want to get too much into that. It’s funny because over time you write songs at one point when you feel really strongly about something, and then later on you don’t really feel the same way about the songs anymore. So when you play them you become the person you were when you wrote them.”
Those songs eventually found their way onto Antibubbles debut album, appropriately titled Pop, which was released in March of 2010 on vinyl. The album also includes a CD in case your record player doesn’t fit comfortably into your car.
“I feel like everyone is obsessed with vinyl now, and you sort of have to just ride the wave. But it’s really cool; I like having a record in my hands that I’ve just put out,” Yarwood says.
“It’s an amazing feeling — it’s different from putting out a CD because you might eventually lose that, but a record you have to take care of and it’s a work of art in its own way.”
