The origins of Innerpartysystem can be traced in 2002, when drummer Jared Piccone and vocalist Patrick Nissley attended school together in Reading,
Pennsylvania, an hour outside of Philadelphia. The town's somewhat bleak,
depressed nature (it remains the country's sixth most-dangerous city)
eventually inspired the harsh, mechanical tones of the band's current music...although, ironically, the area's local "scene" had little to do
with IPS's eventual sound. As the band puts it, "we were the only group in
our area experimenting with dance sounds."
