The musical styles they produce become endless. Mandolin, Banjo, Pedal Steel Guitar, and much more. It's all there in one unique package of talent provided by these six individuals.

City Under the Sea

Genre: Progressive / Experimental / Indie
City Under the SeaA trio hailing from Bay Village, Ohio, these guys are making some of the most original indie/experimental rock I've heard in a long time. With influences such as The Fall Of Troy and eclectic act Mars Volta , they are largely instrumental, although they have started to introduce some vocals. Their style is an almost psychedelic experience. Taking a technique of building up the music into a cumulative climax, their songs always keep you interested. In a classic instrument set-up, with the McKenna brothers on guitar and bass and Griffin Reddy on drums, they manage to produce sounds unique to themselves.
