Kilborough 17 was one of the only bands in the Fort Myers area (2000-2002) to innovatively mix elements of shoegaze and electronica into a digestable pop format.
Much of their subject matter focused on dark and brooding themes, which was rounded out by the heavy yet spacious use of delay and synth.
Kilborough 17 eventually disbanded due to being incredibly ahead of their time.
Jonothan Glover, a former member of Kilborough had this to say:
"Every moment of Kilborough seemed to be a moment of misery AND jubilation.
We had this really ambitious approach, using synths, drum machines, plus live drums, and guitars to try and meld a cinematic, almost symphonic kind of sound within the time constraints of conventional rock. As with all ambitious things, we rarely were able to actualize the concept."
