Explode into Colors. This is a fantastic name or what? (Do not say “what.”) Combines the raw energy unpredictable volcanic blast of momentum and vigor of multihued existence. And as a band name syntax goes, it is wise to use-often abused, rarely successful, phraseology approach: this is a sentence with the verb and object, and only three words. However, the company name. I love this, and I love her even more when it is assumed to function. Do we want to admit it or not, the band name of the substance for us (just check all the recent hoopla over Starfucker as evidence). When all the cyber crap and useless stuff we print today, sifting through the seemingly endless bands, seeing and reading the name of the band may have as much impact on us than the actual music.

Thus, the release of their final syllables in the ether is pure hypnosis. Lisa Schonberg, sit-down and percussionist Heather Treadway, stand-up percussionist, participation in and beat noise, which are ancient foundations, which sounds as much forward thinking as they do not know. They are inventive and thoughtful and exciting. This is music we raised from the underworld.
