TheyÆre the kind of band that loves to fish, paint, ': ,: and solder as much as it loves to blast riffs in a cramped :, : basement. Hailing from New Haven, CT, the self-described : :' ôChamber Grungeö band keeps a commitment to inventiveness, ': ,: dynamic contrast, and lyrical mysticism all while maintaining :, : powerful straightforwardness. Guitarist/Vocalist Michael Kusek : :' has a way of playing that ômakes it look easyö as he tiptoes ': ,: over his pedal board while executing precision passages. Drummer :, : Quinn Pirie rumbles and jitters in a jazz-influenced manner that : :' befits his often paint-splattered clothes. Bassist Michael ': ,: Hammond thickens the mixture with a profound depth of playing :, : that is at once both foundational and ornamental. The combined : :' sound is hard-edged, thick-skinned, and melodious all at once, ': ,: recalling some of the best bands from DischordÆs 90s roster, as :, : well as some of the hard-riffing heroes of todays underground : :' DIY circuit. Their new record, ôPalö, brings it all into focus: ': ,: recorded in just 4 days, the songs walk a razorÆs edge between :, : discontent and camaraderie, drenched in fuzz and chorus effects, : :' a bed of nails for Kusek to lay his poetics upon. This record ': ,: is their third release following a self-titled full length last :, : year and debut EP, Townie Garbage, in 2015. Pal will be out : :' August 3rd on cassette and digital via Bee Side Cassettes.
