East North [NEW MUSIC!]

About Me


.. Pulling influences from Post-Rock bands like Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai, East North pursues inspirational instrumental music with a clever nod towards Prog-Rock. Imagine the strong musical imagery of Godspeed You! Black Emperor melting with the progressive tendencies of Yes. Formed nearly two years ago, East North spent much time scrutinizing every note of their songs to make sure that nothing would come off as cliché or insincere. With everyone pushed to the edge of their musical ability, Chas Whitmire (guitar), Drew Mashburn (guitar), Matt Mashburn (bass), and Christopher Morris (drums) still manage to put a lot showmanship into their performances while maintaining sonic integrity. If you like Post-Rock, but are looking for something new, you need to hear or see East North.

Currently East North is putting the finishing touches on their first full-length album, to be recorded late spring 2010. For booking, submit all requests and inquiries to:
