Haverford
Alaskan Summer
(independent)
1.5/5
Long Island, New York is known for iced tea and being the most populated island in the United States. It is also home to the dreary alternative indie band known as Haverford.
Haverford does not disappoint on their latest EP… unless you were expecting music that was actually worth listening to.
Alaskan Summer sounds, ironically, as though a band that stayed in all summer wrote the music. The angst in Haverford’s music is hard to accept in the middle of bikini season.
Perhaps if they had released this nasally sung EP while listeners were shovelling snow, not shotgunning PBR, they would have been easier to resonate with.
While the singing is desperate, the music is actually pretty good. With practice and dedication, Haverford might be a band worth listening to.
Unfortunately, for now, their music is forgettable at worst, bearable at best.
