is an
Post Hardcore band from the
Savannah, Georgia area. They have recently signed to
Solid State Records .
Showbread is one of many modern post-hardcore/screamo bands that have infused screaming into many different styles of music. They are known for having several unique twists to their sound and their image. First, their two vocalists, Josh Dies and Ivory Mobley, trade off in dueling vocals which alternate between yelling, screaming, and singing. This effect has caused the band to occasionally be labeled as an "
Spaz Rock " band. Second, they are one of the few hardcore bands that uses a
Keytar . Third, they are known for wearing matching outfits, usually matching shirts and
Dickies slacks, that are at different lengths, when performing, which has some have credited that to give them the label as a
Fashioncore band. All members of the band are very energetic during their concerts. Fourth, in keeping with their campaign for uniqueness in the music scene, the band generally does not refer to their music as a particular genre; instead, they prefer the term "Raw Rock." In the words of lead guitarist Matt Davis, "No one ever knew what to say when people asked what style of music we were, so rather than come up with some hyphen filled moniker, we just started saying 'Raw Rock' and turned it into our campaign."
