Pomegranates

Detail: Pomegranates came together by chance in autumn, 2006. A progressive, edgy Indie band that makes use of live Electronica, they're both startling and alluring as all Hell. Check out their curious use of transitions; it'll keep you hard at guesswork, both unsettling and clever. Perhaps the use of strange changes comes from talent. Perhaps it comes from an indescribable connection, a weird inner guide that cements musicians together more than verses and choruses ever could.

Pomegranates have tapped into this sharp spontaneity, a style embraced by bands such as Granddaddy, Modest Mouse and Lake Trout. Part of this unique style rests in humility. Often, an instrument will back off, allowing another to stand out. Drums and guitar rock out, and the vocals get quiet. Vocals holler and the instruments chill. The result is a collective give and take, a humble attitude also present in Pomegranates' vocals. Joey Cook, 20, and Isaac Karns, 19, share the lead singer role.

Their art is unique and it's obvious, from their mellow, peaceful, affectionate natures, that these musicians have a tight underlying musical link. The bands they've been in, their outlooks, and their creative direction tie them together, making this a group to watch out for and hear. Amen.
