Smother Magazine Band Spotlight: Kane Hodder
Alternating between high-pitched screeches, hardy yells, and beautiful melodic singing, Kane Hodder showcases every single dynamic that a modern screamo band could muster. Of course they're really not a screamo band--indeed they blend progressive metalcore, opera-esque glam rock, and indie rock for a sound so damn unique it must have been generated in a
mad scientist's laboratory. And if you had a look at these guys you'd never expect the holocaust that's coming. But that's what separates these guys from the rest, not only is the sound sure and great but they're not fashion whores of the music industry set out to sell you on that sleek new trucker's hat.
