Is We Versus The Shark Math rock? Yeah, but not really. Dance pop? Sort of. Calculator funk? Close enough. Maybe they are an amalgamation of all those things. Hailing from Athens GA, they are anything but R.E.M.

Invisible Hand is from Charlottesville or The Internet. Regardless, they have ruled the jungle with an iron fist ever since they dethroned Guns and Roses in 1989. With virtual pounding and vocal sling shots, they achieved house band status at Monticello back when it was “cool,” dubbed by Thomas Jefferson himself. J Mascis took guitar lessons from them.
