That's Amore: Bars of Gold

With a sound that is best described as post-hardcore meets experimental jazz, Bars of Gold from Detroit are making that depressingly bankrupt city seem rich with their emotionally driven records and live shows. Made up of former members of Wildcatting and Bear vs. Shark, the band has created a loyal following in Detroit. The group formed in 2009 and has put out 2 full-lengths. Their latest LP, Wheels, was released October 2013 under Bellyache Records and recorded at High Bias Recordings in Detroit.Despite their drummer living in Virginia, the band has been able to play a number of shows in their hometown. Bars of Gold will play this weekend in Hamtramck, MI for the First Annual Hamtramck Music Festival, so if you are in the area go check em out.
