Well … my muse had me out of sorts with the keyboard and every further from finishing the latest chapter of the 'Last Orc.' So, I do what I normally do, which is either explore Twitter or the web for something to ignite my creativity. I cam upon a quartet who tagged themselves as 'Stitched Up Heart. On first inspection they do raise curiosity. My muse of course was drawn to the female fronted band and the pipes provided by Mixi (singer/screamer).
Off to Reverberation to get a taste of the music Stitched Up Heart was pushing. Nice … drawn … wanting more. Since my muse is visual we wandered over to YouTube and saw Stitched Up Heart in virtual person. Handsome and sexy is the line up - Mixi, Grant - Guitar, Derek - Bass and Decker - Drums. This Hollywood band has a nice web presence which if course helps spread the word, music and attitude - visit them on Facebook and Twitter.
Admittedly, their music isn't something never before heard - the tight rifts and steady beat coupled with the vocals of Mixi that range from rock to guttural provide great movement in appeal, however. The consistency provides a great base for writing in a 'mood' and remaining there for four tracks before you find yourself spinning the EP over. Check out 'Grave' it is a microcosm of the mood and music as it threads through the words you weave.
Have a look and listen:
They are something that should pique the interest of the horror writer with the sharp and 'grave' mood the music conjures. The vocals are intense and somehow beautiful, all wrapped up nice a tight, perhaps with a noose about your neck.
My muse welcomes you to take Stitched Up Heart for a spin about your imagination and see what the vocals and chords conjure. We have introduced quite a few 'not mainstream' bands here on Sinister Tidings and Stitched Up Heart is one of the promising bands with horror bites that is sure to get the blood flowing.
