Today's Portland bands #1
Agents of Future is a self-described "bunch of Jesus-loving, jalopy-gospel way-backers [who] get together and do creative things". They're part of The Bridge a youth-faith community that at least used to meet (I don't know, maybe the still do) at the Meow Meow/Loveland, the Portland all-ages club where we've held PDX Pop the last two years. The first year of the festival, when we showed up Sunday morning to get set up, their meeting was just wrapping up. After taking down their tables and chairs, a few of the Bridge-ers stuck around to chat and ended up staying for the festival. Maybe some of those guys turn out to be in this band, who knows?
Anyway, they describe their track, Clockwork, as a "piano punk ballad hot-as-magma" which I think speaks for itself:
One cool thing Agents of Future did in posting this track was to include the chord progression along with the lyrics. I don't think we'd ever anticipated a band using the lyrics section for that, but it's a great idea.
