Posture & The Grizzly - 2013 - Calling All Creeps (or The Passion Pit of Mel Gibson Jesus Christ and the Adam Sandler Movielife)

Posture & The Grizzly are a three piece emo band from Willimantic, Connecticut, America. Calling All Creeps (or The Passion Pit of Mel Gibson Jesus Christ and the Adam Sandler Movielife) is their debut EP, released by Broken World Media. Posture & The Grizzly play a scrappy brand of punked up emo that fits nicely in the Algernon Cadwallader school of shouty, somewhat noodley emo. The singer has an excellent gruff shout with some melodic backup and the guitars are suitably noodly and not particularly twinkly. These three songs are an excellent basis on which to grow and hone their own voice. If you like your emo punked up with just the right amount of noodle, Posture & The Grizzly's Calling All Creeps (or The Passion Pit of Mel Gibson Jesus Christ and the Adam Sandler Movielife) will serve well.
