ABOUT:
“Fusing influences as disparate as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Sonic Youth, and Pink Floyd, the sonic concoction brewed by the members of Escanaba Firing Line is truly one of a kind. Guitarist/vocalists Jesse and Ryan Younce blend angular post-punk riffs with jazz-fusion chops, all topped off with sing-shout vocals in the style of Fugazi. The rhythm section of Tony Colombo (bass) and Chad Sturdivant (drums) pins down the guitar maelstrom with complex-yet-solid grooves. Hailing from the cold wasteland of Northern Lower-Michigan, EFL is poised to bring their unique rock pedigree to the masses.”
