About Me

Garlington has fast become a band known for its mixture of Indie rock, classic lead guitar, jazz guitar progressions, and syncopated rhythm. The eclectic songs of Garlington quickly varies from blaring and aggressive, to plaintive and deeply emotional. The sincerity of the songs resonates with todays generation, who, by and large, have grown tired of over manufactured, cookie cutter pop hits, and crave something underground and honest. Garlington is a band that seeks to be creative, progressive, and above all else, real.
