Fermata is a band that has always been interesting to me. There are heavy hints of emo music just as the band goes for the hard rock sound in tracks like “Frustratedâ€. The instrumental interlude that is present during the aforementioned “Frustrated†will remind individuals of a Sunny Day Real Estate, even if the vast majority of the track gives off more of a Foo Fighters means 10 Years vibe.…
As the trio’s latest single “Gravity†is taking off on alternative radio, the group will be filming the song’s video in November. The band (singer Aja Volkman, guitarist Rich Koehler and drummer Dan Epand) has made a name for itself thanks in part to its blistering and in-your-face live show highlighted by dynamic frontwoman Aja Volkman’s volatile stage presence. Filter described the band as “a musical, mythical beast†while 944…

The opening track on Fermata’s self-titled EP starts off ominously before moving into a blend of Deftones and Static-X. The vocals, laid down by Blake, do not seem to be a natural fit for the music present. However, the effort exerted by Blake opn tracks like “Frustrated†is admirable, and it is through this effort that allows Fermata to succeed on the early stains of this disc. The vocals come…
“A melodic folk-rock band that thrives on the gentle interplay between the strumming of the guitar and Nebeker’s dulcet vocals.” – AM New York “A rustic reverie” – Philadelphia Inquirer “Led by the interplay between singer Israel Nebeker and drummer Ryan Dobrowski, this six-piece ensemble takes indie folk past its mellow norm, past folk-rock storytelling, straight to singing and dancing scream-a-slongs.” – Wired Magazine “Blind Pilot’s music is full of…
