Annadale

Annadale is the hybrid brainchild of Staten Island, New York natives Kyle Blaine and Gregory Simone. The dynamic rock duo masterfully combine catchy pop-punk riffs and melodious earworm hooks along with a delicate taste of post-hardcore arrangement, birthing a unique sound one may find in a blender with such artists as Paramore and Sleeping with Sirens. The raw driving force behind Simone's guitar stylings harkens back to the likes of Coheed and Cambria, concurrently achieving ethereal tones reminiscent of Circa Survive. Blaine's vocals take listeners on an emotional journey enumerated through smooth soulful runs, breathy lows and immense flurries of grainy highs and vibrato. Annadale thrives on "mixing it up". The boys are quickly building a reputation for their unpredictability and animated live performances, ranging from an enterprising two man show to concerts featuring a full band. The band is currently in the studio recording its debut EP "Optimist/Pessimist", preparing to unleash itself on the unsuspecting public in the fall of 2015.
