THE BREAKING
Alt rock revivalists The Breaking stepped straight out of 1995. Mining the rich soundscape of mid-’90s guitar pop, the band draws inspiration from seminal acts like Failure, R.E.M., Soundgarden and early Radiohead, where brooding introspection gives way to anthemic choruses and infectious electric guitar hooks.
SURREALIZED (Seattle)
SURREALIZED, is a scintillating musical project by an ensemble of Seattle musicians who seemingly come from disparate disciplines. SURREALIZED harkens back to the synth-pop/wave fueled 80’s in one way, but crunches along in a guitar driven romp in other ways, while simultaneously drawing on dreamy, electrobeat driven, psychedelic anthems.
DEEPEST DARKEST
Formerly of The Carolines, Nate Purscelley has joined forces with Nat Johnson of Derby to form Deepest Darkest, a band grounded in rock history. Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Simon & Garfunkel are few of the influences, and the vibe is classic.
