InnerCombustion / Press

“InnerCombustion brings the funk, but along with the funk comes a more serious tone, with pieces of industrial and prog instrumentation. The blending of styles is seamless on their four-song effort just released for F Nice records.The band truly wears moon shoes because they are jumping in and out of a plethora of styles. The track that most epitomizes their mix is single To the Hills. It opens with some flowing chords and then kicks into a more established groove with lead singer Patrick McConnell crooning in a lower emotive tone. The beauty of the song stems from constant dynamics in the instrumental arrangement and the vocal harmonies done by McConnell. Though the songs structure comes off as more experimental, InnerCombustion still hits us with some standard rock characteristics that no one can argue with like the guitar solo in To the Hills that opens with a searing line based on McConnell’s vocal melody.”
