Sig Transit Gloria...Emo from Illinois

Sleeps in Trees | Milwaukee | 10/22/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"With emo coming back from the Sunny Day Realestate breakup, S.T.G. really redifines what it means to be an emotional teenager. The rather young ages of the band members increases the veracity of their honest, heartfelt and truthful lyrics. As a musician, I often call upon the words of Kurt Cobain, "..Lyrics are secondary, [music] always comes first." Sig Transit acts oppositely, I believe. The musicians tend to feed off their own voices as a primary source of sound, which is hard to come by now a days. Despite the simplicity of the guitar, it is unique in the way it blends with the keyboards, bass and vocal capabilities.



They have incorported so much into their music, emotions, obviously, being number one. Obvious or not, emotion is what this music is about. It is a rarity these days to do what these boys from the suburbs of Illinois are doing, and I incourage it. They are definatley on my play list."
