I saw O'Brother play a show in Salt Lake City with the likes of Thrice, The Dear Hunter, and Manchester Orchestra. I was an instant fan. In my opinion, they outshined Manchester and were just as entertaining live as The Dear Hunter and Thrice, which is saying a lot. Their sound is gritty, low, chunky but also harmonic, smooth and deep. (I know, you're probably like "chunky" and "smooth"? They're a band, not peanut butter! Just give them a listen. That's the best I could come up with.) They go from heavy, earsplitting rock to gentle, melodic harmonies--and it sounds amazing. If you are a fan of melodic rock, heavy percussion, intricate harmonies and music with seemingly infinite layers of sounds, this band is for you.
