The music of local band The Attack! will attack you, literally. Ok well maybe not literally. They won't jump you if you walk down the wrong alley, but they may keep your eardrums hostage for awhile and that's a good thing. Think Hella meets Explosions In The Sky. Similar to Explosions, The Attack! is purely instrumental. The band consists of Tyler Hardy on guitar and Jonathan Seaborn on drums. The two met while they were both in different bands, The Kennedy Assasination and Ohnocircuitry! They then decided to start their own band, a two-piece instrumental project and compose what they call "thoughtful compositions." Their music incorporates many genres which allows for more diversity. Not having any lyrics in their compositions means more freedom with their music. When it comes to writing the music, Tyler will come up with a riff and Jonathan will write his own part for drums. A lot of their music is created during jam sessions. Their music is thought provoking and completely open for each person's own interpretation. The fact that their compositions have no lyrics makes it even more enjoyable. Let's face it, sometimes lyrics simply get in the way of a good song.  The name Attack! was chosen because in a live show, the audience is forced to listen, hence they are being attacked. As malicious as that may sound, their music is an attack on the senses, in a good way.
The Attack! is a project for this duo and is more about playing music and developing their personal abilities. They describe their music as introverted, focusing on making their abilities better.
The duo has played at Jake's, Whiskey Dix, The Bright House and even outsied of Lubbock in Austin, Abilene, and Oklahoma.
This Wednesday, October 29th, The Attack! will be performing at Bash's 2 with Coquelicot, One Wolf and The Evangelicals out of Norman, Oklahoma. This is definitely a show not to be missed.
If you can't make it out to the show on the 29th, don't worry, The Attack! has several shows lined up for November and December. In their words, "you either like us or you don't." We at LBK Now don't like them, we love them...and we hope you will too. To be attacked, in a good way of course, click the picture below to visit The Attack! Myspace.
