Tinmouth – This is what you call a power trio, Tinmouth’s angular indie rock jams aren’t fancied up with loop stations and keyboard sounds. There’s a place for that stuff, absolutely, What we’ve got is a booming, ballsy bass from Aaron Sternick; over on the drums, a rhythmic machine who goes by the name of Alyssa Shea; and leading the band, Timothy Tebordo, whose guitar lines and feedback walls add color and detail to the blend.
In terms of sound, these folks hit hard; in terms of songwriting, they look to the DIY scene of the 80s, channeling Yo La Tengo, Mission of Burma and a little bit of R.E.M. It’s poppy, but properly punchy, offering some grit with the sweet. Their debut LP Says is out early next year, and you should make it a point to see Tinmouth live the next opportunity you can.
