Inspired by a blend of college alternative, traditional folk and guitar-driven rock, their music crosses established musical boundaries while preserving the catchy pop hooks and danceable tempos that fuel its widespread appeal.
Craving's February... like the mix tape your high school sweetheart made for you in 1985.
The songs on Craving's latest release, February, are as diverse as the band's stack of influences. With songs that give a nod to R.E.M.'s Georgia twang, hearken back to U2s early Dublin days, and incorporate New Order's electronic/organic hybrid, February stands as a contemporary representation of the resurgence of the 80s postpunk sound.
Brian Scanlon's melodic crooning juxtaposes sweetly against a driving rhythm section and dark ambient guitar leads, while his vocal harmonies bolster Februarys hook-laden choruses.
The band's sound is both appealing and understated, and is constructed from layers of subtle textures ranging from tambourine to full out electronica. From the jangling mandolin in Salmon Falls, to the epic strings in Change,
Craving's February comes across like the mix tape your high school sweetheart made for you in 1985.
"While Craving's new CD, February, is primarily guitar-driven rock in the vein of early REM or other early 1980s college rock staples, the 10-song CD features a dynamic range of styles and instrumentation, from the folkier, mandolin-infused Salmon Falls to the hauntingly beautiful, piano-laced ballad Fade to the politically charged Paper Dragons.The first two songs reel the listener in with their hook-laden choruses. The melodic Cold Water features edgy, driving guitar, and on the up-tempo, reflective Done & Gone, drummer Scott Harris and bassist/vocalist Brian Scanlon combine for particularly pulverizing rhythm section work." more
"... an upbeat, good looking band and they have a great sound... This band enjoys making music together and the vibe is contagious. They have a unique but familiar sound. Songs that stuck in my head included Paper Thin and I am Jack. Intelligent lyrics, spacey melodies... I am definitely craving another show soon..."
