More than the Sum

Combining 80’s D.C. hardcore, the jerky rhythms of The Pixies, and the guitar fireworks of Sonic Youth, Open Choir Fire create melodic and catchy post-punk music that is more than the sum of their influences.

Yes, there is something raw and gutsy, brash and unapologetic driving these songs but in only five tracks, this group stirs up some serious fun.
