We keep covering one by one all the artists that made our Best of NYC Emerging Artists 2010 Poll here.
Dense and heavy, Twin Stumps won’t make you think of tree stumps at all, but rather massive, moss-covered (evil) trees. The kind of trees that, were they to ever swing fists, would rule the forest – as if the Lord of the Rings’ Ents had joined Mordor instead. Drenched in fuzz, vocals scream over the grinding pulse. Gleefully dark and pounding, Twin Stumps channel hardcore and industrial with a post-punk sensibility — there is method to this madness, although we may not know what it is. We just have to take the chance and trust where the path leads us, even if it is into an seemingly sinister wood. – allison levin
