Aushua: Not Afraid to Go For It

image

You know what we love the most about the Santa Ana-based, four-piece Aushua?

They’re one of the few bands around—let alone a local band—not afraid to just go for it. And by go for it, we mean writing vibrant, anthemic, hooky pop/rock tracks that are standing out drastically amidst a sea of jangly Costa Mesa garage rock-a-likes.

The easiest, most noticeable comparison (not to mention the biggest compliment) to draw to Aushua would be well, the vibrant, anthemic, hooky pop/rock tracks of an early U2.  Singer Nathan Gammill even has a tinge of Bono in his voice that rings out amidst the unforgettable riffs of songs like “No Harm Done,” but it’s hard to deny the similarities to other classic staples like English post-punk band Echo and the Bunnymen… who also was responsible for their own dosage of vibrant, anthemic, hook pop/rock tracks.

Aushua just played the Detroit Bar Thursday night. Be sure to check them out next time around.
