Chi Town Screamers
If Freddie Mercury were alive and well today and decided that his means of expression were to leave his traditional Queen vocals behind and explore the screamo world, you would see Chicago rockers Victorian Halls emerge.
Though they explore a vocalization that is undoubtedly young in terms of thematic age, the musicianship behind the words is no doubt classic. Piano that crescendos at just the right time and drums that follow traditional punk rock syncopation help level out lead singer Sean Lenart's theatrical and sometimes shrill sound. Tied in with their running metaphore that their work is like Clockwork Orange, we hope that this band leaves the midwest behind and makes their way to the ROC immediately.
