This EP, Melancholy Breakdown has a unique, distinct and identifiable sound with strong melodic guitar hooks that stick to your musical memory. Songs include driving rock-solid bass & drums, thick crunchy and vocal hooks with a hint of mid 60’s pop-psychedelic bridges. The defining musicality of the 80’s and 90’s are pulled together by Goebelt’s smooth, buoyant voice and lyrics that ride the songs through a visual vocal landscape. Cross between Dinosaur Jr., Wilco and The Killers. New, memorable and a strong debut EP!

MUSIC VIDEO: DOWN Born out of Goebelt’s downward spiral into despair & depression while struggling with an aggressive auto-immune disease that literally brought him, his marriage and his life to a dark edge. This EP is part of the story of the fall, the pain and the climb back from the breakdown. Each song is different, driving, emotional and all share the same great production. With more songs to come… this is a band to watch.
