Cinematic Sunrise

By Ernest Barteldes

Published on May 22, 2008

Details:

Cinematic Sunrise headlines a nine-band bill on Saturday, May 24, at Javajazz Coffee House, 2502 F.M. 1960 E., 832-202-2287.

Cinematic Sunrise, Javajazz Coffee House

Craig Owens and Bradley Bell usually play post-hardcore music in their full-time band Chiodos. With Cinematic Sunrise, they get to make more pop-oriented and less-complex punk songs. This doesn't mean the five-piece Sunrise is easy listening. Its new self-titled EP is jammed with clever keyboard and guitar riffs, and songs about one-sided love affairs ("Umbrellas and Elephants") and no love at all ("Pulling a Piano From a Pond"). Onstage, both the band and its tunes get louder and faster, with focus on Owens's girlie-like voice.
