About Me


Biography
"Since May 2007, rich hooks, staccato vocals, and wildly traipsing melodies have complimented the seething push-pull of San Antonio,TX-based Sohns. A unique blend of below-the-radar, mid-90's punk and hardcore, they've roved the US with their abrasive, chaotic guitar work and gritty percussive elements, cultivating their cacophonous sound by spending one third of last year interminably touring. Nodding their fiery head to punk staples Refused, City of Caterpillar, and Malady, their stratified songwriting radiates elements of indie sweethearts Small Brown Bike and Ex-Models, balancing their sonic and lyric capabilities, and negating the need for genre specificity. Their July '08 release Eating Death Mountain on Mayday! Mayday! Records is an appetizer for a loud, concussive, and much anticipated performance."
-Francesca Camillo
