Nothing Was Ever the Same
Dutch Kills
The Village Voice recently said "The near-emo Dutch Kills shuffle between soft, pretty indie-pop and clamorous bloodletting." It's a bit of an exageration but not by much.

Description
Dutch Kills combines dreamy melodies with raw guitar power and commanding lyrics, creating dramatic indie rock. The Village Voice 'Choices' column recently noted that "the near-emo Dutch Kills shuffle between soft, pretty indie-pop and clamorous bloodletting." It's an exaggeration, but not by much.
Started as a singer-songwriter project by Nick Altebrando, DUTCH KILLS-who hail from Queens and Brooklyn-released their sophomore EP, Nothing Was Ever the Same on May 11th (Wordclock Records). It is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed EP Scale 300 Feet to the Inch. Like Scale..., Nothing Was Ever the Same is populated with a cast of identifiable characters. "I like the idea of songs where things happen," Altebrando says. "The narrator in 'Katherine' spends a good part of the song pleading for his life. The trucker in 'Semi' say he just wants to stay awake a little while longer, but you get the sense that he's on the edge of pitching himself off the road. The guy in 'She's a Star' is scared to death that his girlfriend's acting career is going to take off and she won't need him anymore. Pathetic. But I feel bad for him." Combine these scenes with Altebrando's forlorn melodies, and the band's proficiency, and Nothing Was Ever the Same is yet a must have for fans of indie rock.
