A Voice Like Rhetoric
NOW PLAYING: Ethos
THE STORY SO FAR: A Voice Like Rhetoric used to drive two or three cars from rural Pennsylvania to wherever it was their name had made its way onto a flier, says guitarist/vocalist Ross Horvath, "Just so we could take anybody that was stoked to see us play." In four years, the frenetic prog/math-rock outfit have weathered four line-up changes and two vans, recorded an EP and a full-length and survived a three-week, self-funded 2005 tour from Ohio to Florida.
WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: Face it: Math rock is hard. And these guys (Horvath, guitarist/vocalist Erik Pitluga, bassist Justin Campbell and drummer Nick Frisch) make it look obscenely easy. "It's like a puzzle with time, dynamics, stops and starts," says Horvath of AVLR who've shared the stage with the likes of Punchline, The Fold and Nakatomi Plaza. "We aren't trying to be the next Faraquet, but we like to see people shimmy when they shake." -Tim Karan
