Hear Me Now: Cymbals Eat Guitars
A few curious things about the band Cymbals Eat Guitars:
1) The name.
I mean, what exactly would a cymbal eating a guitar look like? Or, really, what does it sound like? Because I certainly wouldn’t use that term to describe the band’s scream-pop sound.
2) The hometown.
Staten Island. I’ll repeat, Staten Island. While other bands flout their Brooklyn addresses, Cymbals Eat Guitars are proud to call the land that spawned Wu-Tang Clan and Fresh Kills landfill their home.
3) The album.
Why There Are Mountains was put out by the band a bit ago, but it finally gets a label release this week. We’re not sure why it took so long to get some love, but considering that they’re currently touring with Pains of Being Pure at Heart, it’s only a matter of time until the four-piece gets their due.
In the meantime, check out the band (and the album) here. xxRebecca
