Deep Pockets are a post-hardcore quartet from various parts of New York. They play thoughtful, distorted, melodic, frustrated music. Heavy-but-jangly distorted guitar and a swirling rhythm section hover around impassioned, assured vocals, all the instruments and vocals holding level then exploding into distortion at the drop of a hat. The music that Deep Pockets plays channels their influences-- Silkworm & other 1990s midwestern posthardcore-- and makes it new again, relocating this distinctive sound to Deep Pockets' territory-- the outer boroughs of New York City.
