The Staten Island quartet Cymbals Eat Guitars first made waves in 2009 with its critically acclaimed, self-released debut, Why There Are Mountains. That auspicious first record reached back to a '90s indie rock sound, but also pushed that texture into fresh territories.
On the band's third and most recent album Lose, there's a noticeable lyrical maturation, courtesy of singer and guitarist Joseph D’Agostino, and bolder sonic strides from the rest of the band.
Cymbals Eat Guitars will play a hometown show at Brooklyn's The Knitting Factory on December 12. Earlier this fall they came to the Bronx for a session with The Alternate Side. Watch videos of Cymbals Eat Guitars in Studio A below and listen to the entire session now in the FUV Vault or on TAS on 91.5 WNYE today, December 5, at 11a.m. EST, also streaming online.
