Hallway - 1/14 - Blind Pig - with the Juliets / Silverghost / Ornery Little Darlings

This Ypsi trio blends the stately strutting hooks of British Invasion's excitable aristocracy onto fuzzed out indie-rock riffs and an undeniably grooving rhythm section. They've got a fairly straight forward debut full length (up on bandcamp) - shining with the simple charm of guitar-bass-drums.

Hallway flirts with that fun and freewheeling, sock-hop facilitating sway, with effervescent vocals tap dancing on the bass lines, but they mix in these buzzy eruptions on electric guitar giving it a coarser sheen. A reverence for the reverb and romantic style of classic 60's pop is prevalent but vocally and instrumentally other tracks traipse into a bit darker, more cathartic territory than the usual pop fair. Still room for growth yet, but it shows promise.
