auradel

"auradel." While admittedly not a name to strike fear into the hearts of the masses, make no mistake...THIS is the band that your parents have warned you about (1). More addictive than crack cocaine (2) and more violent than a flying weasel (3), auradel is a band that attempts to redefine "rock"(4).

Of course, your main question is still probably "what do they sound like?" Some describe it as "extraterrestrial bourgeois rock." Others describe it as a cross between Tool, The Gathering, The Cure, and other bands of the minor-key & black t-shirt persuasion. Lyrically pretty dense, the female-fronted band's material touches on mature subjects that the average Joe would rather avoid.

And as for the name itself: auradel.

Immerse yourself in the music, absorb the stories behind the lyrics, and THEN define it as you will. It'll all make sense then. Promise (5).
