Sounds Like: "hinting at everything from hardcore to experimental jazz, omaha trio fromanhole crafts beautifully disjointed pieces that hold on to their visceral snap during even the most sudden twists. the band uses just bass, drums and guitar to fill a great deal of space, and despite the 'experimental' label, a very basic focus on rhythm and melody is the bands' true strength." staff writer - the onion - madison, wi“fromanhole didn't get on until about a quarter after 12 and played right up until closing -- their typical set of intricate, trance-inducing angular riffage anchored atop the drummer's scatter-shot, muscular sound -- his constant time-shifts and off-kilter syncopation sounded like a string of ladyfingers going off in the bar. fromanhole is always fun to watch because all three players intensely examine each other for visual cues to the next break. this type of music demands precision or else it would turn into a jumbled mess. talking to bassist doug kiser, i think the band knows that their sound will always be a hard sell in this town, and yet they continue to manage to draw sizable crowds to their shows. here's hoping they keep on keeping on.†tim mcmahan, lazy-i.com
