Description
Understanding God is the sole album by the American alternative rock band Plaid, released on Rustproof Records in 1998. The album was produced by Derri Daugherty of The Choir fame and Mike Quinlan.
Plaid features Brannon Hancock on guitar and vocals, Allen Salmon on guitar, Andrew Adams on bass, and Jason Scott Payton on drums.
Plaid got together during my sophomore year of high school. The original line up included me (vocals and guitar), Jason Payton (drums), Allen Salmon (guitar) and Andrew Adams (bass). After being together for two years, we signed a recording contract with Rustproof Records. We recorded the ‘Understanding God’ album with producers Mike Quinlan and Derri Daugherty. Within months of the release of ‘Understanding God’ we decided to add Steve Busch to the group as a keyboardist. So for the vast majority of the time that we toured that album, this was Plaid’s line up. But as we got nearer to recording a second album, Steve and I were collaborating on most of the music and lyrics, and were writing songs on our own. We also wanted to move in a direction that involved us both singing and ‘fronting’ the band. So we began to work on the Downpour project with producer Michael Q and things just began to move in that direction. We realized that Downpour was a brand new, exciting thing. Downpour is currently me on vocals and guitars and Steve Busch, vocals and keyboards. – Brannon Hancock [Excerpt from an interview featured in Cross Rhythms Magazine #57, June 2000]
