The band 27 formed in the late 2000s with Cody Long on vocals, Justin Langlois on guitar, Ethan Stone on bass, and Ian Campbell on drums. They put out their first EP, 'The Room,' in 2009, followed by the album 'Gemini' in 2011. A song from that period, 'No Water,' got some attention for its raw feel.
They kept recording through the 2010s with albums like 'Blood and Bone' in 2013 and 'Ventricles' in 2015. Long's lyrics often dealt with personal struggles, and his candidness about those topics, along with some erratic behavior, became part of the band's story. Their other tracks include 'Make Love Not War' and '9 Mile Burn.'
By the mid-2010s, they had built a following drawn to their moody, introspective sound. The music wasn't for everyone, but it found its people. They left behind a handful of records that still get played by fans who connected with that particular strain of alternative music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
