You Bred Raptors

With Jurassic Park playing ironically in the background, You Bred Raptors took the stage. I originally discovered this band of three in the Columbus Circle subway station one late night home in New York City. Although, initially intimidated by the costume masks that they wear during performing, I stopped to listen because I was intrigued by their rock sound induced by classical instruments. The band is equipped with an 8-string bass, cello, drums and two glockenspiels, which blend together to create a sound that is reminiscent of a movie score. Although their performance lacks a climatic pop, I do enjoy the texture that their music produces: a little hard, a little soft, melodic, and slightly adventurous.
