Exposed Vocals just sat down with Kyle and the Pity Party
Described as “rock that has matured out of some punk brashness–while these minor key songs can get noisy, they have an atmospheric gravitas imported by the melodic commitment, the dense arrangements, and the Doors-esque vocals.” by Independent Clauses.
“The band has been crafting a sound that combines the delicate atmosphere of My Bloody Valentine with driving rhythms of The War On Drugs. Kyle and his Pity Party will be releasing their latest effort, “At Home EP” – via Boneshaker Records.
