They weave a dynamic soundscape through sharp arrangements, tight instrumentation and an uncompromising sense of melodic invention.

Pawn's music reflects the influences of other local bands and the individual components of each band member's extensive musical heritage. Their music is a shared effort with a simple, powerful result of four minds speaking as one voice.
