I Was Totally Destroying It
Preludes
The dual vocalizing of keyboardist Rachel Hirsh and guitarist John Booker set I Was Totally Destroying It (IWTDI) apart from others in the pop/rock spectrum by broadening the margins that contain modern rock. The band's new CD, Preludes, from Greyday Records is more than listenable; it is stimulating and induces positive thinking. The quintet take the best of synth pop, emo and prog rock and mold it into something that is entirely their own. Rounding out the band are Joe Mazzitelli on bass, James Hepler on drums and percussion, and Curtis Armstead on guitar. Together IWTDI make rock music that can be played every day without growing tiresome.
