Influences
Among Birthmark members' earliest influences were artists such as Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Queen and others. However, by the mid-2000s, around the release of Product of Black Days, Birthmark began showing an interest in electronic music, such as that of trip-hop acts Massive Attack, Portishead and alternative-metal music, such as that of Tool, which they claimed as major influences on the sound of Product of Black Days. While working on new material, the band have continued to mention alternative rock, progressive rock, electronic, and hip hop musicians as favourites—particularly Radiohead, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Muse, Camel, DJ Shadow.

Famous quotes containing the word influences:
“I don’t believe in villains or heroes, only in right or wrong ways that individuals are taken, not by choice, but by necessity or by certain still uncomprehended influences in themselves, their circumstances and their antecedents.”
—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
“Do not seek anxiously to be developed, to subject yourself to many influences to be played on; it is all dissipation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
