  • Atmospheric, melodic strains fill songs of heartache, doubt, faith and romance.

  • Songs like "When Fire Falls" are pregnant with hooks and a fist pumping righteous anger, while "Perfect Obligation" explores the dancier, European side of The Myriad's love for a great pop chorus that you can't help but sing along to.

  • With bands like Muse and the Killers throwing open the doors to American radio, the setting is perfect for a rock band whose music has a flare for the dramatic and whose live shows deliver that same intensity.

  • At a recent show at The Modern Exchange in Detroit, these guys tore the roof off with their songs of longing and renewal.

  • At their current pace, they will have played nearly 200 shows by the end of this year and they're just getting started.


Recommended If You Like: Cool Hand Luke, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Muse, Radiohead
