Stars Hollow pack a punchy sound to their frantic emo style. “Embarrassed” isn’t fueled by heavily distorted guitar chords, rather they use a scratchy sound to achieve the urgent tone from their vocals. This was the first time I heard from the Ames trio and I’ve been a fan since. Considering how closely related they are to emo leaders Pianos Become The Teeth, there is plenty of blossoming room for the young band. Their mathy progressions blend well with the wiry sound, converging at a focal point of tight knit playing rivaling other greats in the scene.

“Embarrassed” is taken from Stars Hollow’s forthcoming I’m Really Not That Upset About It, available through Sorry Dad Records on March 28th.
