**Sound **
Not your typical alt rock band, Threesixtysmile
is a captivating power-rock foursome hailing
from Saint Louis, Missouri. Originally founded
in 2004, by former members of Mindrive, Josh
Herr and Joey Natas, the quartet found completion
with the addition of guitarist Jonny Baynes
and bassist Jeff Boyer. The bands signature
thought provoking lyrics are braced by driving
and melodic guitar riffs, causing their sound
to be infectious and refreshing. This foursome
dances on the lines of gritty thundersome pop
with astounding talent and precision. Lyrics

breakthroughs, but intensified and backed by
an enhanced soundtrack.
