Sound Off! An Underage Battle: (Sui Generis)

The 2010 Sound Off! Battle of the Bands begins this weekend, and it’s time for another taste of what our region’s minors have to offer. Yesterday we posted a barnburner of a hardcore track from Tacoma’s Apache Chief. Today we hold the mic to (Sui Generis), a Kennewick quartet that plays around with righteous chops, metal influences, and character studies. “The Phantom” is a song that begins slow and steady before voyaging into power and speed and ending with a bit of fast-paced old world folk.

The dynamic (Sui Generis) competes Saturday night for the right to advance to the Sound Off! finals March 6. Expect a whole lot of volume and adventure.
