DOWNLOAD: Sainthood Reps - Monoculture
Boy grows up in a suburb listening to local punk bands and picks up his own instrument. Boy makes demos and brings these to his usual partner in crime. The two realize they're onto something and find two more. So goes the story of Long Island's Sainthood Reps (and perhaps East Coast music culture in general), except in this case they happen to share guitarist Derrick Sherman with the not-so-obscure Brand New. This music finds little crossover appeal, however, as the band sticks to a tight, '90s-influenced post-rock sound. "Monoculture," the title track from the group's upcoming LP, features a pointed distortion that ends up the driving force of its songs. Grab the record August 9 on Tooth & Nail.
