The internet has opened up opportunities for consumers to experience media outlets that have gone largely undiscovered by the public, either because major investors have turned them down, or that creative director of the media chose to stay independent. And while the significant role the Internet has played in the arts is a story for another day, we would have missed out on original and cheap entertainment without it (i.e. Minecraft).
Today's [Promo] is none other one of my favorite bands of all time, The Dear Hunter. This project, started so lead singer Casey Crescenzo could write and explore music that didn't fit with his other band, The Receiving End of Sirens. He explores many genres of rock through his already large discography of a demo, three EPs, and four full length albums- one of which is made up of 9 EPs totaling 36 songs- and he has Acts IV, V, and VI already lined up. His eclectic sound encapsulates progressive, experimental, alternative, electronic, and much more. When I attempt to introduce friends to new music, they ask me "Who do they sound like?" This is one of the few times, along with the Paper Tongues and Forgive Durden's Razia's Shadow, that I could not find any other artist that could compare to this artist's sound.
