Slow Caves
by Tim Wenger
Slow Caves put out their self-titled EP June 14, and the music is a very current representation of the state of modern rock. Dubbing themselves “synth-punk,” the band incorporates harmonic, full-sounding vocals over top of synth-driven alt rock, creating a sound that incorporates many of the styles heard on modern rock stations around the country.
“Dandelion Girl” is the strongest track the band offers- demonstrating a punk rock flair and very moshable. The song is more straight-forward than others on the record. “RYGOS (Drive)” has the feel of classic The Cure, also a very enjoyable track. Overall, the band is very well put together for such a young outfit- look for big things from them if they can get their music into the right hands.
