Definitely RIYL Post-Rock..
Most of the bandÆs five membersùwho are scattered across Northern Virginia and
Marylandùare new to the melodic bag. Drummer Jimmy Rhodes, 24, claims Converge,
Radiohead, and Sade as influences, and says the merger of the groupÆs punkish
past and poppier present is key to its sound. ôSome Assembly Requiredö was
written shortly after the band formed last June, but Rhodes still isnÆt sure
what the song is about. ô[Tauch] is that kind of frontman who wants people to
have different interpretations of his lyrics,ö Rhodes says. ôAll I know is it
deals with a personÆs relationship problems through the story of a futuristic
cloning machine and mail order.ö
OK Commuter: Rhodes, bassist Ian Sabo, and guitarists Justin Horenstein and
Cliff Rehder knew each other from hardcore groups, but Tauch took a different
route to membership. ôEd has actually never been in a band before this one,ö
says Rhodes. ôHeÆs just been singing in his car while delivering pizzas in
Fredericksburg. He responded to our Craigslist ad and had some YouTube clips of
himself covering Mazzy Star and Radiohead songs, which were surprisingly great
to us. It really worked out very nicely.ö
