Listen with your eyes closed. Herein lies the essence of a fleeting feeling, an elusive after image, the vague impression of something lost. A splendid place: the opulent innermost chambers where soul mates might share their darkest secrets without prejudice. Music echoes through the ruins of the 20th century. It guides you somewhere impossibly vast; the lush fields of discontent where only the introspective may pass. This is where imagination begets substance; this is home.

 

You Shriek elegantly defies classification creating a unique sound on the threshold of a new genre.

 

Founded in the early 1990's, the band quickly gained a devoted Boston following, drawing enthusiastic crowds at the local venues. A cover of Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" featured on the now-legendary Oxygen Denial vinyl compilation brought them an international underground club hit in 1992. After a hiatus from live work in the late 90's to write, record, and produce a full length disc (among other projects), You Shriek have re-emerged on the New England live scene as an A-list underground act. You Shriek's current work, "Unreal Cities", takes the listener through a broad range of emotion and musical versatility. By combining poignant melodies with exquisitely orchestrated instruments, You Shriek define a new movement in progressive music.

Electronic, organic... the beatbox has a soul.
