Exit
Rock / Undefined
The Exit function similarly to the Clash or Husker Du. Two individual songwriters, that each posses their own unique sound and point of view, while complimenting each other. If DaRosa’s work tends toward introspection, Brewer’s songs are searing and bold, while both attack affairs of the heart and matters of the world. In an age when new acts seem risk adverse, it’s exciting to have a band tackle big ideas, but it would all be nothing more than good intentions if the music wasn’t exciting, and Home For An Island is riveting music. It’s grounded in punk rock but isn’t content to stay there. Hints of dub reggae float through the minor-key melodies, pop hooks draw listeners into some dark places, moods change from song to song, sometimes within a song. “We want to create an ultimate mix tape every time we make an album,” says DaRosa. “You know how people make a shuffle on their iPod? I want to make it feel like with our record you don’t have to skip around because every song is engaging.”
