A few more stomps of the kick drum and Operatic may just cause California to finally break off and fall into the Pacific Ocean. Once and for all ending this plastic, super-sized, so-called American dream. And if it all crumbled, the diehard, inspired San Diego unit would keep on grinding out the noise. In the wake of the big split, Operatics haunting, feverish sound would make the perfect soundtrack. Avalanches of sonic tension and earthquake rhythms. Above the din of the destruction the vocals float and sting, like airborne poisons.
And like the wailing, syncopated movements that makeup their wrenching playlist, Operatic is all about pace and motion. Tracks like Interested in Madness and Killing us is Easy hum, grow, and explode inside your head. And while you push through gridlock traffic, praying for the day SoCal really does sink into the sea, Operatic sings the death chant of a carefree tomorrow. Its getting dark, but not hopeless. And therein lies the power of their purposeOperatic will help you forget. This is personal music, which at the same time is universal; killer music for driving. Louder please.

Though youve never heard the name Operatic, youll most definitely recognize the influence theyve impressed upon on the music community. Through seven years of touring with past bands, members of Operatic have shared stages with such greats as Jimmy Eat World, At the Drive In, The Get Up Kids, and Hey Mercedes, while their most recent tour was with the legendary Face to Face and the about to blow up My Chemical Romance. But this gives context only. Operatic stretches out into their own frontiers and flexes back to the fundaments of guitar-based rock.
Their sound has grown into a cohesive melding of guitar-driven anthems, textured with innovative counterpoint and exciting dynamics. Upon this solid foundation of complex rhythms is a voice that will cause listeners to come unglued. His voice is not just unique, its seething, and almost instigating, suggesting. The music of Operatic will tug at your heartstrings while punching you in the gut. And youll feel tougher for the abuse.
