Formed in 2009, Weekend started out as a trio comprised of guys from punk and hardcore bands in the Bay Area who wanted to do something with a broader sonic palette. Often compared to My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus & Mary Chain, Weekend doesn't really sound like either so much as a pop band utilizing noise and driving rhythms.
Sounding a bit like they're doing the musical equivalent of impressionistic paintings, hazy edges and inventive use of color and all, Weekend's sound may be a bit frayed and incandescent, but the group's knack for using abrasive noises in a melodic way is surprisingly effective.
