Postina was just named 2011 Musician of the Year by RAW Minneapolis
Minneapolis alternarockers Postina rose to fame in the summer of 2009 when they made the finals of the Cities 97 Basilica Block Party Battle of the Bands competition only six short months after having formed. With thoughtful songwriting and energetic pop hooks, the quartet's sound is defined by delicate female vocals and the prominent bass lines of Josh Walton. Quickly capitalizing on their initial success, the ban.. More >>d headed to the recording studio last fall to cut their first record. The result is The Road, a six-song EP which ought to provide the next step in the band's forward progress. - Jeff Gage, City Pages
As for the rest of the band Andy Roots well-crafted guitar parts and compelling lyrics convey the depth of experience the band has lived Dave Donovan plays the drums with an unmistakable finesse and brilliance that brings intensity to the music. In 2010 Postina welcomed Dylan Randolph, whose electronica-synth style and memorable counter melodies complement the Postina AlternaPop Rock sound and at the end of 2011 Faith Eskola began performing with Postina, adding beautifully, dramatic, classical violin, mandolin and vocal harmonies to the mix. Vashti Jade became Postinas new front woman in early 2012.
Postinas live performance extends beyond music with painters joining them on stage during their set making their show even more visually compelling and experiential by bringing together two synergistic forms of art.
Postina released their debut EP, The Road in March 2010. The Road is a collection of six original songs, each a story inspired by personal struggle or triumph. Postinas music conveys deep emotion and the bands determination to experience the fullness of life.
Nero, Postinas sophomore EP released in October of 2011 exemplifies the further musical development of the bands signature female vocal, electronic, AlternaPop Rock sound. The 2nd track on the album Heart in Mine was featured in the Twin Cities Film Festival trailer in September 2010. The Road and Nero are available on iTunes.
Postinas contagiously hooky and energetic pop approach to rock n roll paired with balmy female vocals make liking Postina an easy jump. Its likable music, with solid lyricism and a radio-friendly ease and bounce that explains why the band was RAW Minneapolis 2011 Musician Of The Year. Postina brings a bit more substance to the game, and its sophomore release, Nero, is proof of that. - Christopher Bahn, A.V. Club Twin Cities
