What is one of the hottest new bands from Montclair, New Jersey? Well that would be the relatively new band, Those Mockingbirds. With their catchy melodies and interesting lyrics they are taking the Jersey scene by storm.
The band is comprised of Adam, guitarist and lead vocalist, Tory (ironically Japanese for “bird”) the violinist, Dane on guitar, Dom on bass, and Matt plays drums. The beat is driven by the drums and bass, guitar provides the chords, Tory’s violin dances around the melody, and main melody is provided by Adam’s singing and the occasional vocal harmony. These culminate into a unique sound of music that draws inspiration from almost all forms of rock and pop. Their genre of music is ambiguous. On their Facebook page they are listed as “Classy/Alt. Classy,” their Myspace classifies them as “Indie / Acousmatic / Tape music / Hyphy,” and their PureVolume page simply puts “Indie / Soul / Rock.” Just know that Those Mockingbirds fall under the “Awesome” genre.
Those Mockingbirds only have one album right now: No Symmetry – EP, which was released back in April. However, expect new albums coming soon as well as a variety of upcoming shows and events.
What does the band enjoy doing when not playing concerts or composing songs? Kidnap the Numa Numa guy of course. He is kept in a secret and secure location and will only be safely released if 50,000 people visit www.savenuma.com and download their single “Honest. Honest?”
Those Mockingbirds are an amazing new band and I see great things coming to them in the future very soon. You better get their autograph now, because these guys are going to soar in fame.
