Kansas City-based quartet featuring ex-members of Season To Risk, Shiner and Dirtnap. Their music is invigoratingly unique, with ringing guitar salvos that jostle listeners like violent waves, placid keyboards that whisper like the receding tide and drums that demand a dance response without resorting to an overeager death-disco cadence. Rapid fire riffs stilt-walk over bubbling lava bass lines until they melt into the mix. Roman Numerals forms a sturdy bridge between indie rock's angular approach and the underground club scene's throbbing tempos. Think Big Black meets Gang of Four or Fugazi meets Modern English.
