Cameras

Cameras formed in Brooklyn in 2003, with Adam Pierce on vocals and guitar, David Boyle on bass, and Aaron Neveu on drums. Their first album, 'The Cameras LP,' came out in 2006 and included the song 'Break Hands.' That track got some attention for its moody feel and Pierce's vocals, but it also sparked accusations of plagiarism from critics who thought it sounded too much like another band's work.

They kept making music after that, putting out 'Swim the Dark' in 2008 and 'Where the Ships Go' in 2012. Those records moved a bit toward ambient and electronic sounds, though they never shook the early notoriety around 'Break Hands.' Another song, 'Defeatist,' appears in their catalog, but details about it are thin.

Like a lot of indie acts, they dealt with money troubles and the grind of keeping a band going. The story around Cameras often circles back to that one song and the questions it raised, rather than any grand narrative about their place in music.
