Aggressive, angular and abrasive are a few words that can partly describe the unique sound of the southwestern noise-rock trio Below the Sound. Originally formed in 1999 in the high desert of Albuquerque New Mexico, the band consists of Dennis Ponozzo (bass & vocals) and brothers Chris Roy (guitar) and Brian Roy (drums).
Minimalistic while remaining powerful, Below the Sound creates tight and heavy off-kilter rhythms complimented by unrestrained dissonant guitars and raw fiery vocals to produce an intense and volatile sound reminiscent of their noisy post-punk predecessors of decades past.
Below the Sound manages to stay ahead of their time while taking a step forward into the future of true underground rock. Merch can still be purchased via this Myspace page (just send a message and we can let you know prices and all of that good stuff) or at our website: www.belowthesound.com
