SXSW 2022 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 4

Pairs Well With…Future Islands, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Real Estate

Full and energetic, Rock Eupora’s brand of indie rock is melodically strong and fiercely driven by alt-rock hooks. Their upbeat riffs and vocals recall 90s and 00s buzzy hits, a consistent thread across their catalog including their latest, the Mirror EP from 2021. This calling card of catchy guitar melodies and finding pop earworms within a crunchy rock sound rides through the band’s burgeoning discography, comprised of three full-lengths of go-for-the-fences rock-and-roll songs. In lieu of experimental songcraft, Rock Eupora base their music around tight and memorable verse-and-chorus packages full of hope and togetherness. (Kevin McStravick)
