High Strangenes-by Houseguest
Houseguest is a band from Akron, Ohio. Houseguest plays music in the Neo-Mannerist fashion. The members of Houseguest are BFFs, and total bad boys! They like to hang out at the mall, drink Dr. Pepper, eat at Chipotle, and shop at Hollister! They also like to take their Hollister shirts off when they get excited, which makes the girls flip out! Houseguest has a bad-ass record out on Audio Eagle/Fat Possum Records, and is working on a new one for Spring 2008. Keep a lookout for these cuties!
“Houseguest is Akron, Ohio’s band du jour. Deservedly so. But what adds weight to the hope that they will get over that local hump is their journey so far. In their five years together they have already lost a close friend, busted up the band and reformed, and grabbed a Northeast Ohio super-group label of sorts for their roster’s pedigree.
“Now, they have overcome the novelty of their live show reputation (where the band and half the audience often seem to end up on stage and in various stages of undress) and released their first full-length release on the Audio Eagle label, founded by old friend and Black Key Patrick Carney. And while the abandon of their stage presence is something to behold, what they are capable of committing in the studio is staggeringly beautiful, skewed pop. 8 out of 10.”
