Biography
There are several bands named Pope.
1) Pope are a noise pop, post-grunge, indie rock in New Orleans. Members are Matthew Seferian,
Alex Skalany and Atticus Lopez.
New Orleans indie trio Pope is a snapshot of the melodic, melancholic alternative rock landscape that many of those older siblings ushered us through growing up in the ‘90s. Alternating songwriters Alejandro Skalany (also of New Holland and Donovan Wolfington) and Matt Seferian (Buncho and Donovan Wolfington) have worked together in different projects since adolescence in Houston, TX. Upon arriving / reuniting in New Orleans with their longtime friend Atticus Lopez, they founded Pope. Their new album on Community Records, True Talent Champion, is their second full-length exhibition of their long-standing friendships, and integral shared love of iconic late ‘80s and early ‘90s bands like Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, and Guided By Voices.
2) Pope were a short lived band formed after the first split of punk greats Leatherface and featuring both that bands Frankie Stubbs and Andy Crighton. Their one and only about JohnPaulGeorgeRingo was recorded in 6 days in 1994, after which the band promptly split. While mining similar territory to Leatherface, Pope were muddy and grungier than Leatherface (especially Leatherface's last album at that point 'The Last'), as well as only featuring a single guitar attack.
