SPIES- Dine Like Lions
by Tim Wenger
SPIES! are up to something good with their music lately, and they’ve got an earnestly titled EP, Dine Like Lions, to prove it. Featuring strong emphasis on guitar work, Spies puts intricate leads on top of captivating rhythm lines and solidly descriptive vocals to create a sound that while mellow, is exceptionally picturesque.
Their sound falls somewhere between indie rock and pop- drawing that tight line between popular appeal and musical honesty, and is an eclectic take on guitar-heavy modern rock. The band is not shy to sing about their love of alcohol, which must have influenced their pseudonym Drunk Spies. Whether that is true or not, we raise a glass to a refreshingly original take on our favorite genre.
