Press Reviews Review: 1956 are extremely eclectic in their sound. Mixing noticeable influences ranging from late '90s indie rock to post-hardcore akin to Quicksand to even the metal rhythms of Black Sabbath, these kids crank out some intense jams. Although the songs seem a bit boring at first, once they kick in the distortion you won't be the same. This EP offers a great change of pace in independent music, coming close enough to so many genres that fans of Hydrahead and Deep Elm alike could easily access it. Keep an eye on this label... they seem to have a great ear for catching fresh bands. www.invisibleyouth.com
