Miranda Sound

City Beat

Counter melodies intertwined with constant rhythmic changes make for a very complex and interesting listening experience when checking out Columbus-based Miranda Sound's latest, Engaged In Labor. Creative and catchy Pop hooks, compelling lyrics and some beautiful harmonies combine to form one of the best new-ish bands of late. Guitarists/vocalists Dan Gerken and Billy Peake's unique way of merging their voices is a perfect blend, but their ability to be completely off and opposite also adds to the success of their sound. Backing them up is bassist Sean Sefcik and drummer Scott Haynes with some of the most powerful and entrancing rhythms you'll ever hear. From lighthearted to intense, Miranda Sound has found something that very few groups will ever find anytime in their careers -- truly inspirational creativity and imagination.
