Esperanto
|
‘New alternative’ hard rock band with unique guitar riffs, catchy lyrics and dynamic vocal harmonies. The synergy of both guitarists’ sound is a melding of slide guitar and heavy riffs, accented by the occasional and colorful pinch harmonic. Add to that two distinct vocal styles of the slide guitar player and the bassist, along with droning vocal harmonies together, resulting in a band reminiscent of the early 1990s.

Funzzle/Treehouse

“From the ashes of legendary Western Mass failures, including, but not limited to, Better Left Unsaid and Bad Days, arrives a Phoenix of pop funk. (Known as Funzzle)…Well maybe not a Phoenix. More like a chicken. But a really nice chicken.” - David Lips
Tree House pulls from multiple influences and styles... We tend to play something of our own form of indie/folk music, writing about the people and places around us... We also eat a ton of loaded chicken nachos...
