Not to be confused with the multitude of other guitar smashing, liquor-swilling independents, Long Island frust-rock pioneers Myriad are best remembered by the placement of their band members at the end of their performances – in varying locations, prone, and likely bleeding.
Myriad’s untitled seminal release proves that trying to entice listeners into buying their album is not as important as grabbing their shirt collars and giving them the message directly. Two things can be said when comparing Myriad’s live performance to their purchased recording: Don’t ask how their day went, and Watch your head.
"With songs, and vocals reminiscent of Cursive, but at the same time possessing their own sound. It’s something that you need to hear to understand, to feel. This record feels like something that Long Island could be proud of if only more knew it existed."

"If Thursday had Waiting, Myriad has The Semantics of Silence -- a decent debut full-length of anxious, semi-atmospheric post-hardcore that seems to promise much greater things down the line. A tiny band, even in the scope of the local scene, Myriad's gone pretty overlooked despite a smart, sincere sound that clearly pulls from great influences. "
