Fresh Squeezed: Ear Pwr

The phrase 'infectious' seems to be tossed around a lot, but I never fully understood why someone would want to compare a song to an infection. That is until I begin to listen to the cheesy disco anthems of now Baltimore duo Ear Pwr. There sound swims through every part of your body even if you try to resist. Devin Booze and Sarah Reynolds found each other in the spring of 2005 after Sarah became of loyal fan of Devin's party-punk band, Hide and Seek. The two had hopes of doing something musical, but were apart for a year. When they meet again their immediate goals were simple: Make people dance. Make people happy. The recordings they have made are filled with electrobeats, odd noises, fun and freeing rhythms, and just the pure joy of music. Yet, as much fun as their recordings are, it's during their live shows that EAR PWR truly shines. Armed with only a suitcase of synths and a megaphone, their enthusiasm and mutual admiration sparks into a fun-loving barrage of body-moving electro and infectious silliness that's hard to ignore. Their move to Baltimore from their native North Carolina places right at the center of a electro-pop revolution and that is exactly where they belong.

Super Animal Brothers III will be released by Carpark Records on May 19th.
