A Journey from upbeat love to depressing heartbreak The organ, the quick strums of the guitar, and the keys. The instrumentation of Love as First Response sounds more like a 70s funk band than any indie band or artist that Joel Michael Howard has been opening for....
“Dream-grungeÛTerrorbird Radio described Weed's sound as “dream-grunge,Ûand I think that's very accurate. There's a lot in their music that speaks to the dark, cold climate of the Pacific Northwest (I think, although I've never lived there) while drawing...
