On the surface, HomBru sounds like a blend of Gordian Knot and Tool. They incorporate heavy, Stick-laden grooves and edgy guitar riffs with cerebral lyrics that occasionally break into growly Bill Hicks-style vocal flourishes.

Album Notes

December 1, 2002 review of Ingredients by Chad Hutchison, Ghostland.com

“HomBru is a three-piece ensemble from Denton, TX consisting of David Huff (Stick), Michael Powell (guitar, vocals), and Todd Wink (drums, electronic percussion). The band released their first independent album in 1999 entitled "Imaginary Music" as a five-piece band, but afterwards reflected on their future as a band making relatively non-commercial music. The band took some time off and reconvened as a trio. In 2002, Huff, Powell, and Wink released a 5-track CD called "Ingredients," from which "The Nerve" is taken. On the surface, HomBru sounds like a blend of Gordian Knot and Tool. They incorporate heavy, Stick-laden grooves and edgy guitar riffs with cerebral lyrics that occasionally break into growly Bill Hicks-style vocal flourishes.

Their more melodic moments are reminiscent of upper-tier King's X. For a trio, HomBru fills in the space very well with effects, arpeggios, and most notably the excellent drumwork by Todd Wink. In a guitar-driven band such as this, it is easy to focus on the melodies and grooves, but it is worth listening to the work that Wink puts down behind it all. The "Ingredients" EP is a very good introduction to what HomBru is all about”.

You can learn so much from these guys - they truly hit all the angles. From the outstanding talent of every member on the verge of mastering their instruments, to the sincere emotion and poignant songwriting that is so often forgotten when music is this well rehearsed and crafty. Give it a spin and just reflect for a moment

This CD has a great sound to it, very crisp.  Each song has a story of it's own to tell, yet they are all connected by an underlying theme.  A must have for all music and audio enthusiasts.

Perfect

Now this is what is missing in the world.  I'm thankful it has come to light.  I hope to see this live in LA sometime.  When is there going to be a full length?  NO RECORD LABEL-that is crazy!

How Emotional
author: Critty
                            
This album took me from one end of my emotional range to the other. From anger and dispair to love and warmth. I absolutely love the sound of the stick bass, and it's been incorporated so skillfully into the mix here. There are so many admirable influences represented in this collection of songs, the music places itself in an entirely new genre.
