The Mitchells

 

The Mitchells call Northampton, Massachusetts home and let's face it, they have a long legacy to live up to. But comparisons are cheap and I won't even bother with such convoluted contrasts. I can however, bring up the fact that frontman Caleb Wetmore has been handling bass duties in New Radiant Storm King for years now but the Mitchells is a different beast altogether. His delivery may be reminiscent of Frank Bruno but the sound is distinct when clashing against the group's own music. Fervent is a word that comes to mind and you might have the basis there with the opening "Our TV Theme" as the Mitchells run quickly through it with chafing guitar lines and a frantically paced rhythm in just under 2 and 1/2 minutes. The expressive guitar lines are what make this one so divergent from the band's contemporaries. It's significantly rubbing up against my ears over anything else. yes it's higher in the mix than anything else at times but I wouldn't change a thing. And so the band plays with friendly melodies occasionally wrapping them around dissonance like on "Stakeout". It seems as if so many bands have forgotten how significant it can be to use dissonance but the Mitchells make full use of it here and it works augmenting the song. They don't over do it but they're able to utilize it to create a sound all their own. Hear Where You Are is what music should be sometimes; on the brink of falling apart but held together by fluidity and caressing melodies. - Eddie Ugarte (Ghetto Blaster)

The New Thirty

 

Ray Boyce (Bass, Guitar, Vocals, Songs) Ray Dunetz (Vocals, Guitar, Songs) Kevin Moylan (Drums, Percussion) Fred Pickard (Guitar, Bass, Vocals) Evan Appelbaum (Guitar, Vocals) The New Thirty was formed in early 2005, and after a successful debut gig this spring, is currently hard at work in the studio recording their debut EP. About 2 years ago, Ray D. was introduced to Ray B. at a Pernice Brothers show by their mutual friend Mark Erdody. After realizing they shared many of the same musical tastes and influences, the 2 Rays decided it was finally time to start writing and playing original music again. Myspace Page
