CLOSER (SOUNDS)
Rock / Metal / Progressive
"...Closer, an up-and-coming Stockholm-based act that I think sounds like a darker, more melodic version of At the Drive In. Or maybe imagine a prog-ier version of Khoma/Koma. Its heavy, but not exactly what Id consider metal. I immediately knew these guys were something special when I downloaded a song from their website and listening to all four tracks from their as-yet-unreleased "Tokpela" EP only confirms my gut feeling was 100% on-point. The band has a very clear intent and vision to what they want to do and its surprising that no label has snapped them up yet, but I cant imagine that the situation will last too much longer. The world needs more intelligent rock bands like Closer and theyre simply too good to ignore. Heck, if I wasnt so strapped for cash Id pony up the money myself. Spread the word: this is a band to watch."
