Stairwell
Fifty Years Too Late
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Anyone into emo, listen up... Stairwell is awesome! The new breed of post hardcore music is diverse, with bands as varied as Brandston, Appleseed Cast, and Dear Ephesus putting a different twist to the emo umbrella. Stairwell dabble heavily into the subtle, even picking up a violin at times to create aural beauty that is spattered with dense guitars and tasty drumming and vocals that sound deeper than "this is my job." Listen to a song like "Letters To Lindsey," and see if you don't feel inspired. For ordering info, write: No Compromise at address above.
