Details: THE WHIMBRELS are a power art-rock band with lineages to some of the most influential and raw music New York City has produced - loud art with a back beat. The sound is dense, rhythmic, hard and sweet, with hooks and riffs that pop out at unexpected moments. Their three-guitar lineup featuring ARAD EVANS (Glenn Branca Ensemble), NORMAN WESTBERG (Swans) and LUKE SCHWARTZ (Glenn Branca, Wharton Tiers), along with bassist/vocalist MATT HUNTER (Savak, Dusty Fates) and drummer STEVE DiBENEDETTO. The New York Times once placed Arad Evans on "an index of creative or experimental electric guitar-based music in America - young lords of the wild in the post-rock tradition." That description fits The Whimbrels perfectly. You may need earplugs.
