    There are a few formulas that cannot be improved upon, and the rock and roll power trio is one them. 1956 is such a trio from Milwaukee, WI; and have released their third long-player “Saboteur” here in their seventh year of existence. Comprised of eleven songs that touch upon the band’s experiences touring the country; “Saboteur” is a genuine, expressive portrayal of their worlds as only they could collectively create. Whilst many bands are finding it difficult to continue in today’s volatile musical landscape, 1956 are actually thriving by putting their creativity first through constant sonic and songwriting exploration. “Saboteur” introduces no less than four new instruments to their palette, meanwhile honing their craft of post-hardcore song arrangements and aesthetics. “Saboteur” is the perfect example of this consistent trio capturing their essence and further defining their highly-original sound.

    1956 live is best described as something you feel, though you have to hear it to believe it. The sheer force of their epic sound is the product of, and counterpart to, their intricate and intertwined musicianship. While the purity of the band is also something to behold, as they place equal emphasis on the passion and the fun of what they do. They continue to reach and win new audiences, validated by an opening slot for the legendary Helmet earlier this year. The show marked the beginning of another cycle of taking the music to the people, one town at a time. 1956 reminds us all why we love rock and roll: because they make every note, every word, and every emotion count.
