Label: Southern

Genre: instrumental rock

Rating: 6.1 of 7

It is truly amazing the sound that these three NYC kids make with their limited number of hands. Every song on here sounds like it was made by a 5-piece band, but I guess that is what stands Darediable apart from all of the other instrumental bands out there today. Made up of Jake Garcia (guitar/bass), Matt Holford (Hammond/assorted keyboards) and Chad Royce (drums), the trio draws influences everywhere from the 1950’s “organ trio” to the 1970’s cock-rock to modern instrumental metal and math-rock bands. In their 6 years of being a band, they are coming close to perfecting the raw groove of live instrumentation while everyone else is glued to their laptops and the bleeps it produces. This is definitely a breath of fresh air to hear the imperfections of human error and energy of three frustrated musicians belting out their emotions on their respected instruments.
