The Stella Brass

The Stella Brass were a four-piece emo/indie band from Utah that were active from 1995 to 1997 (approximately). Like many of their contemporaries, their entire recorded output exists solely in obscure 7"'s that should be lost to time, but have thankfully continued to exist thanks to the internet. Their output was actually very varied, albeit minimal. For starters, they do actually make occassional use of brass instrumentation, and throw in the odd jazz-inspired rhythm on a handful of tracks. However, the predominant influence you'll hear is the slow, somber, and clean arpeggiated guitars akin to bands like Mineral or Christie Front Drive. They still find a way to break away from that mold on more energetic cuts like "Click". Enjoy.
