Growing out of a re-blooming Orange County emo scene and a supposed national "emo revival" taking hold in blogs, Aliso Viejo outfit Pedestrian have been one of the latest local bands to take advantage of the genre's upswing. In recent months, ths local band has graduated from playing tiny garage shows, to DIY spaces and opening for one of their biggest influences, Portland band Braveyoung. Since the beginning, the band have gradually started leaning more toward post-rock influences and with their latest release, they've pushed their own boundaries and moved their sound further into the experimental realm. Building their sound one instrument at a time the band carefully crafts their songs away from catchy melodies and into unusual melancholic guitar chords stacked with entrancing guitar riffs. With more experience under their belts and their signature brand of songs occasionally reaching the ten minute mark, the band plans on taking the project more seriously as they grow out of adolescence.
