Model/Actriz

Model/Actriz is a Brooklyn based band that plays a tightly bundled mixture of post-punk, industrial, and club inspired gloomy dance music. Their songs often come with bold, powerful beats, loud, distorted guitars that edge towards goth, plenty of propulsive noise, and an overtly dark tone that may be anxiety inducing for some people. Vocalist Cole Haden walks the line between speak-singing, singing, and letting out spasms of screams that are matched by instrumental bursts in the background. They are reminiscent of Gilla Band, and at times, the early years of Nine Inch Nails and Sonic Youth. The music is fairly intense, where the release typically comes in the form of their occasional dance punk bits.
