Shiner

Starless

O&O

Emo alternative rock. Full guitars, ripping the speakers. The vocals hard and heavy and straight, sounding like something out of some grunge band you used to listen to, but with this music backing up the voice, it’s different. It works. Along the lines of bands like Jets to Brazil and Burning Airlines, perhaps, and sometimes with guitar lushness that reminds me of Hum. The vocals harmonize, the drums hit hard and drive, and the electricity keeps me alive.
