Strictly Ballroom were a five-piece post-hardcore/emo band from Los Angeles, California that began in 1994 and ended in 1999. They can be loosely compared to bands like Boys Life, I Hate Myself and Policy of 3. If you dig quiet, meandering guitar arpeggios building up to distorted octave chord assaults with vocals on the brink of collapse, this is for you. Strictly Ballroom also set themselves apart by incorporating ambient soundscapes influenced by Brian Eno. Their discography is limited but sweet, with all of it being worth your time. Side note, their bassist was Jimmy Tamborello, better known now as Dntel, who has had a long solo career in addition to being one-half of The Postal Service. Enjoy.
