And how lucky indeed the world of rock is for these talented musicians change of direction. At a time when most are striving to jump on the latest musical bandwagon and homogenize their sound in order to garner their 15 minutes of fame - The Pretty Weapons have stayed true to a unique musical vision that puts them outside any current fabricated scene – merging spacious ambient sounds with hard rocking hooks, loud beyond belief even in their softest moments. Those of you who have found inspiration or simple unbridled enjoyment from groups such as Cave In, Joy Division, Interpol, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Jesus and Mary Chain and even Pink Floyd will find a welcome addition to your record collection in this debut release from The Pretty Weapons. The brand new rock group from ex-members of Zao (Tooth and Nail Records) and Eyes Upon Separation (Uprising Records). Featuring Corey Darst on lead vox and rythym guitars, Matt Auxier on lead guitars and keyboards, Tony Akins on bass and Brandon Smith on drums - The Pretty Weapons leave behind the mechanized metallic mayhem of their previous groups, opting instead for beautiful yet somber melodies immersed in ethereal tones of existential melancholy and wall of sound guitars (merging ambient sounds with hard rocking hooks, loud beyond belief even in their softest moments). Those of you who have found inspiration or simple unbridled enjoyment from groups such as Cave In, Joy Division, Interpol, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Jesus and Mary Chain and even Pink Floyd will find a welcome addition to your record collection in this debut release from The Pretty Weapons.
