Within six months of meeting each other Dante Jones and Drew Love began making music in Los Angeles based on their eclectic listening habits, with Nirvana, Taking Back Sunday, John Mayer and Jodeci as some of their vital influences. A raucous introduction of closed chord guitar strumming and energised yells encapsulates the energy of these coveted bands. However, that’s just one side of THEY.’s story. As evidenced from their syrupy R&B vocals, tightly coiled rap verses and stunted drum beats in newest track 'What You Want', the pair have saturated the surrounding West Coast hip-hop vibes. This combination is most prominent in the beat work, where a drum kit meets digitally manipulated beats resulting in an interesting new frontier of grunge R&B. - HT
