Cinema, Cinema is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band backed up by members Paul Claro (drums) and Ev Gold (vocals, guitar). If you want to experience the madness of passion meeting noise on drums and guitar with an extreme amount of focus and drive, then check out one of their shows. Luckily for us locals, they perform quite frequently at familiar venues such as Pianos, Matchless and Lit. Known to be fierce both recorded and live, their music, although carefully composed, sounds epic and spontaneous, like they’ve accidentally been caught jamming. But the raucous and catchy melodies are no accident. Take the song “Drydive” as an example; they combine some serious riffs and fast drumming with elaborate, dramatic lyrics, a combination that won’t disappoint if you’re in the mood for a sincerely badass band.
