The Balconies

It’s a birds and the bees sort of question… Or maybe a chicken or the egg sort of question… What came first the rosined violin strings, major falls, classical theory or the smashed guitars, split finger tips and sweaty bodies?

Thera

Thera is a 5-piece Alaskan rock band forging their own brand of epic, soaring music. Their goal is to create the kind of music that ranges from majestic highs to crushing lows in the span of one song, leaving the listener breathless and reeling in its wake. Thera began writing such music after solidifying their lineup in January of 2009, and releasing the remarkably mature ep, The Aftermath, in April of 2009.
