Search - Other Men My Age :: Every Buddy

With their 2003 debut, ?Imaginadium?, a husky yet liltingly dynamic breed of men emerged from the forests of the Pacific Northwest to spellbind post-hardcore aficionados with a collage of AM radio style vocal melodies and mountainous guitar bombast? this group was aptly named Other Men My Age. From their bountiful Ohio roots, the members of Other Men My Age traversed the hillsides of America, trapping audiences in their sonic art-core snares in bands such as Armstrong?s Secret Nine and Harriet the Spy and ?New? Terror Class. It was only after the former members of these bands, Dave Neeson on guitar and Ken Myer on bass guitar pioneered west to Portland, Oregon to meet drummer Rick Coss and keyboardist Shaine Edwards, did the Other Men My Age succeed in grasping a grandiloquent sound nodding to their hardcore music past. Their result was a brusque sound, as soft as a Grizzly bear?s fur, but as temperamentally decimating as the Grizzly?s feral attack. Now with! the release of ?Every Buddy?, Other Men My Age return from their rustic setting with a markedly placid sound. Windswept are the heavy layers found on their virgin ?Imaginadium?. With ?Every Buddy?, Other Men My Age have created a new set of songs that at times recalls Fleetwood Mac or ?Leaves turn inside you?-era Unwound, yet also conjuring a sonic mystique and a seductive tone reminiscent of early prog rock. ?Every Buddy? shows the band maturing, focusing especially on melodic song writing and an organic tone, yet they still retain the fortitude of their previous musicality.
