The Animal Underground

About Me

DEMAND OUR REUNION NOW!!! www.ipetitions.com/petition/taureunion 8/28/07The Animal Underground is the product of East meets West, wavering visions vs blind faith, with a heavy dose of serendipity. Jeff Buckley-esque vocals serve up melodic narration over eclectic, jam-influenced alternative rock with occasional peaks of unbridled ferocity. Eager to tell tales of earth and atmosphere, urban alleyways and fire-ridden travails, four boys from Massachusetts and one from Ohio attempt to walk and pave a new line between uncertain experimentation and age-old American soul..
