MORE ABOUT THE WESTWARD TRAIL
The Westward Trail are determined to proove that you CAN successfully combine rock guitars with electro-pop. During early 2003, Jake Dempsey and Joe Wawrzyn (soon to be called The Westward Trail) began sketching ideas for songs with two guitars and a drum machine in the shared bedroom of their small Boston apartment. They eschewed a traditional rhythm section, complementing their penchant for guitar interplay and vocal harmony with glitchy walls of beats and jittery synthesizer lines c/o a G4 PowerBook. Using synthpop, indie rock, and hip-hop as influences rather than blueprints, The Westward Trail bring the sweet and the heat - catchy hooks and body-moving beats. As a performing unit they have built a solid following in the clubs of Boston, making up for their slim roster with energy, charm, and sweat.
