Artist description The Reel can best be classified as pop alternative with the aim of veering away from the genre of hardcore grunge rock. Joel’s vocals combine a scratchy volume with soothing melodies that compliment the other musicians perfectly. Reese paints a wall of guitar sound that ranges from soft intricate textures to all out in-your-face power. Kevin’s hybrid style of progressive wandering and unusual chord-driven bass flows seamlessly with Scott’s skillful classical rock and occasional power drumming. Together, The Reel achieves a unique, original, modern style of alternative rock that leaves listeners begging for more.
