Broken Tooth Halo

Pop punk / emo with driving downstroke guitars, upbeat but bruised mid-tempo bounce, and tight tom-heavy drums; verse rides stripped power chords and restless bass, pre-chorus lifts with gang shouts and open cymbals, chorus hits full stack harmonies and ringing guitar hooks. Lead vocal is raw and close-mic in verses, double-tracked and cracked on the hook, with shouted gang responses and short delay throws on key words. Ear candy: reverse guitar swells into the pre-chorus, a snare pickup into each chorus, and a brief octave lead under the last hook. Bright, punchy, slightly gritty mix with a big singalong center., emo, rock, pop, pop punk, pop rock
