Splavender

Splavender? What kind of name is that for a band? A fitting one. One that describes multi-colored spontaneous approach. The end result: A delicious blend of audio flavors. It’s lush. It’s fuzzy. It’s melodic. It’s jagged. It’s swirly with kaleidoscopic time changes. But it never loses sight of one important fact: The heartbeat is the most important rhythm instrument of all. Splavender is Grant Glibert, Oscar Carrion, Andre Flores, Anthony Noriega and Danny Ellis, who wrote all nine songs on the band’s debut Shoreline Dilemma. Splavender is a journey and a jam. It’s the punk version of “Pet Sounds.” It’s Splavender: The band you’ve had in your head since you first fell in love with music.
