Newest Album “Theories of Mind”
The self-titled album Theories Of Mind functions as the project’s primary artistic and strategic centerpiece. The 2026 release consolidates earlier material alongside newer recordings, presenting a cohesive statement that reflects both the evolution of the songwriting and the emergence of a stable full-band identity.
Who We Are
Theories Of Mind is a Washington, DC–based alternative rock band whose sound blends song-driven writing with jam-band openness and progressive rock influences, informed by elements of jazz and fusion. The band’s core sound centers on strong melodies, introspective lyrics, and dynamic arrangements that emphasize feel, space, and musical interplay rather than rigid song structures.
Stylistically, Theories Of Mind occupies a space between modern alternative rock and exploratory, guitar-forward music. Their work reflects influences ranging from classic and contemporary alternative rock to progressive and improvisation-driven traditions, with an emphasis on tone, harmonic color, and rhythmic interaction. Jazz and fusion sensibilities appear not as stylistic pastiche, but as an approach to phrasing, dynamics, and ensemble communication within a rock framework.
The project was founded by guitarist and songwriter Eric Boggess, who studied at Berklee College of Music and has continued his studies since 2016 with Anthony Pirog of The Messthetics. That background informs the band’s focus on expressive guitar work, group interaction, and the balance between composed material and spontaneous development.
Theories Of Mind performs and records as a full band, presenting original material that bridges thoughtful, emotionally grounded songwriting with exploratory musicianship. The result is music that remains accessible and song-focused while allowing room for risk, texture, and extended development—appealing to listeners drawn to both melodic rock and more adventurous, improvisation-aware forms of modern music.
