Influences
It's a little all over the place.
Here's a few we love:
Shellac, Dinosaur Jr., Nirvana, The Cure, Joy Division, QUOTSA, Fugazi, Helmet, The Killers, and a lot more I can't really think of right now.
So pretty much rock that doesn't suck.
Sounds Like
Take 80's new wave, 90's seattle grunge, and 00's non-corporate rock...
mix in a blender, add 3 episodes of McGuyver, a tinker toy set, and some repressed memories. Throw that out, & we're kinda like the crap that's left stuck @ the bottom.
The music is a labor of love, and even more of a labor of obsession. Even at its least complex, each note is carefully put into place by shaking hands, the outcome being an actual personal reflection of the band itself. There will be no formula writing here. There will be no 4-chord ballads. Every note, every beat, each and every lyric add up to what is essentially group therapy for the members.
Show Preview from We Shot J.R.:
Pinebox Serenade/ Record Hop/ Medicine Window (Rubber Gloves 08-25-06):
Although bluegrass influenced stuff isn't normally my thing, Pinebox Serenade seems to be pretty good at what they do, and are probably worth checking out... Record Hop is Record Hop, and I dont' know what else I can say about them that someone hasn't already said, but if you want to check them out, most would agree that the live shows are where its at. I actually think that the first band, Medicine Window, is the highlight of this show. Their sloppy start/stop hardcore reminds me of Jesus Lizard and a little bit of Flipper with some PIL style post-punk bass lines thrown in the mix. I don't know much about this band, but their strong vocals and aggro approach could be exactly what you need on a Friday night.
