Miranda Sound, Engaged in Labor (Standard Recording Company)
Miranda Sound is from Columbus, Ohio -- the city in which I live. I have never seen them live, and I hate to say it, but I have never heard of them, either. Upon listening to their new album, Engaged in Labor, I have to say that they're quite good. Possessing a tense, serious, guitar-based tone, Miranda Sound is a band with some real potential. Although many of their songs never really take off melodically the way that they should, there is some real heart and soul at work here. If you're a fan of Bad Religion or Live before they turned into a joke, you might find something worthwhile here. Miranda Sound is a band worth watching. They have the energy and passion of early U2, and the complexity of the best indie experimentalists.
