Sounds Like
“fromanhole didn't get on until about a quarter after 12
and played right up until closing -- their typical set of
intricate, trance-inducing angular riffage anchored atop
the drummer's scatter-shot, muscular sound -- his
constant time-shifts and off-kilter syncopation sounded
like a string of ladyfingers going off in the bar.
fromanhole is always fun to watch because all three
players intensely examine each other for visual cues to
the next break. this type of music demands precision or
else it would turn into a jumbled mess. talking to bassist
doug kiser, i think the band knows that their sound will
always be a hard sell in this town, and yet they continue
to manage to draw sizable crowds to their shows. here's
hoping they keep on keeping on.”
tim mcmahan, lazy-i.com
"hinting at everything from hardcore to experimental jazz, omaha trio fromanhole crafts beautifully disjointed pieces that hold on to their visceral snap during even the most sudden twists. the band uses just bass, drums and guitar to fill a great deal of space, and despite the 'experimental' label, a very basic focus on rhythm and melody is the bands' true strength." Scott Gordon - the onion, av club - Madison,WI
fromanhole is abstract. if asked to name their sound they would call it: angular art
rock. smarter people have called it by other names, such as jazzy grindcore. they pride their songs as an exploration of rhythm, making them textural, surrounding the listener like a blanket, or angular, eluding and defying instant gratification. when writing a song, a structure is never assumed... for the sake of what sound can be.

I just realized that I never commented back to you guys. That show was so much fun. I'm so glad we had the privilege of playing with you all again. Hopefully it'll happen again and again. Thanks for the compliments too!! :] Much love.
You guys were fantastic with Self-Evident. It was a pleasure for us to have your music assault our hearing holes. Hope to see you guys again soon, very soon!
Jon is drumming for the appleseed cast. I saw them last night and after the show we were talking about omaha bands and the cog. I mentioned you guys and neva dinova being two of my favorites. And he said you guys crashed at his place once upon a time.
He gave me a rough copy of the dactyls' new music. It's solid stuff.
my band bought a van, if you're interested we were thinkin bout tradin some shows if you guys wanna try again in memphis and us comin to play in/around your town. lemme know what u think
