Check out the whole set
Discount Fireworks is an exercise in auditory interdependence. Jeff Maleri (bass) and Ben Myers (drums) resuscitate and evolve melodies that have long haunted Joe Sepi. Sepi offers heart on his sleeve vocals and a signature post-punk, no wave guitar sensibility. Maleri’s bass stylings are soulful, blues-infused and entrancing. Myers' post-hardcore-laced percussion tethers his bandmates. What emerges is a trio that effortlessly travels time signatures and invites negative space. What emerges is a kind of cerebral rock that feels both familiar and new.
