5. Young Fox
alternative rock/emo/indie http://youtu.be/cBSJKJ2GCEc You may or may not recall a band that featured in the last of these features called
Imperial Railway who hailed from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Well, it seems there's something in the water in Pittsburgh at the moment, because Young Fox are just as young in the tooth as Imperial Railway and boasting just as mature a catalogue songs. Whatever it is that's in the water, it's getting these musicians all emotional, that's for sure. Impassioned and powerful rock that soars with heartfelt melodies and emotional breakdowns. This four piece are open with their influences and wear them proudly; Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab For Cutie, Cave In, Thrice, Jimmy Eat World, and so many more, and you can hear that through and through in their music but as an individual sum of those parts, not a derivative collection of them.
