This new emergence of post-rock has brought forth a great wave of bands that have that honest and pure sound from the 80s and 90s that modern music has been lacking. They Had Faces Then, from New Brunswick NJ, incorporates elements of the quiet/loud dynamic that was mastered by bands like The Pixies, while holding down a rhythmic groove that has me searching for Murmur by R.E.M. Brian Goglia and Matt Harvey hold down the rhythm section on Bass and Drums respectively. Chris Seitz and Ken De Poto are the guitarists, both playing rhythm and leads, while Ken sings. His voice adds great depth to all there songs, and also punches through with emotional grit like a cross between Bob Nanna and Michael Stipe. The band has one release, an E.P. entitled “Birds,” which you can listen to here, and you can check them out at The School of Rock East in South Hackensack, NJ on October 22!!
