"'Western doom' is how Pioneers West describe their sound, and it's easy to see why. It's a kind of music that's born out of Modest Mouse's experiments with paranoia in the Pacific Northwest - that kind of feeling of everything closing in around you, being acutely aware of your tiny presence in an infinitely hostile universe. Pioneers West bathe their tunes in jagged guitar and feedback and crunchy drums, the vocals sounding wounded and angry like a dog that's broken its leg and resists assistance with yelps and gnashed teeth. Brief respites, moments of wide-eyed wonder, these are met with suspicion. It's ferociously local music, highlighting everything that's inspiring and terrifying about the Great Northwest. This is, and always will be, the land of Western doom."

Hi jLO,
Luke was the one who created the band profile so he needs to be the one who updates it.
