Skillfully melding rock, abstract sound collage, synths, and noise, the collection of songs that make up the bands repertoire nod in the direction of classic alternative artists while side-stepping any sense of cliché. Ultimately what is revealed – both vocally and through the layered guitars and bombastic percussion – is something fresh, striking and uniquely, Inu. Check them out in a city near you!
