Description
Fresh out of high school, Lancaster County, PA foursome The Districts have perfected their own brand of authentic, soulful rock music. They first came to nationwide attention when a one-take performance of their track Funeral Beds was filmed at a local Philadelphia studio and skyrocketed to the front page of Reddit, with WNYC noting that the song showcased an impressive knack [for] memorable vocals and for songcraft that starts as introspective indie rock and builds to a climatic wall of noise.
WXPNs John Vettesse caught their live set, saying a thundering swell cuts, leaving a clean guitar arpeggio floating in space as [frontman Rob] Grote catches his breath; the verses build in waves, with the heaviness sometimes derived just from Braden Lawrences drums. Grote is an intense, emphatic, occasionally bewildering stage presence he kicks, stomps and snarls, both at the mic and far away but guitarist Mark Larson and bassist Connor Jacobus hold their own, shuffling and bobbing and giving the overall band a dynamic stage presence.
Mustsee The Guardian
