Kinch
Phoenix four piece Kinch plays big, bombastic rock music best suited for the stage, but also not too shabby in the stereo. Their latest album, The Economic Chastisement EP, continues the trends they set in their debut, Advances. Combining the heavy sides of britpop and the classic tones of 60's power rock, Kinch have assembled a sound at once rowdy and reserved, both of which they clearly feel at home with. Kinch can throw down a monster jam as easily as a piano ballad, all the time shaking a finger at standards and convention. CHARLIE SWANSON
