Thera is a 5-piece band out of Alaska. Their core sound could most generically be described as alternative or emo, but there’s more to it than that. Thanks in large part to the vocals of Stephanie Plate, the band’s music takes on an epic feel despite the short duration of the songs. Her voice is very unique and capably conveys the raw emotion of her lyrics. Musically the band creates pieces that can move from uplifting highs to crushing lows within the span of a single song. I know it’s still early, but this may very well be one of my top 3 albums of 2010.

Ha ha, no worries. I knew better than to add a genre or RIYL too. It only ever leads to arguing about those two aspects instead of actually paying attention to the music.

Thanks. Mx said he wanted this blog to be as dynamic as possible, so I figure I can pull something like this off just about every other day if the blog is having a slow period.

EC: I re-listened to "The Devil and God..." album and the Brand New comparison that I was making is apparently more in the feelings that both albums seem to create. To me, they're very similar in mood - so, I guess that would be more of a personal thing than a tangible thing other people could relate to.

It's interesting, to say the least.
But lolwut emo and alternative?
Alternative isn't a genre
This isn't anything close to emo, maybe slightly influenced by some pop-punk band influenced by another pop-punk band influenced by Cap'n Jazz, but that's all I can imagine.
