Boston Band Spotlight: Sinnet

On “Paper Chandeliers”, the opening track to Midwest Manners, Sinnet’s seven song EP, it’s hard to resist the sultry and mysterious swing of the song. As Aaron Spransy sings, you are “so mesmorized” by the way this song moves. Both this song and “Castlevania”, the two opening tracks, are irresistably catchy. The music is the product of Aaron Spransy, having written, recorded and performed all that is on Midwest Manners with the help of Alexander Boyes and mastered by Taylor Barefoot. [Bandmates include John Drislane, Marlo Pedroso and Matt Girard]

Where Aaron seems to excel is in these catchy yet just left of center melodies that give it their mystqiue. When he goes straighthead on songs like “Let’s Play Poison”, there seems to be something left on the table.�

Aaron’s cover of “Be My Baby” (Phil Spector) is bold. Trying to cover any Phil Spector when you are a stand alone artist is ballsy. But Aaron seems to be willing to put his neck out there and try new things, which is key for a band just getting their barrings. Also, if you are looking for a band for your Bar Mitzvah, they are open for booking.�

See Sinnet at Davis Square Theatre on May 3rd and at Middle East Upstairs on May 10th.�
