Raw Rock is here to overtake you. With Showbread leading the frenzy, there`s no doubt it will succeed. And it`s no wonder, as Showbread consistently present a show not easily forgotten. With seven equally energetic bodies swarming the stage like a multitude of angry bees, propelling their guitars, shaking their hips, and leading the audience to sing and dance-alongs galore; it`s an image that will stick in the minds of the audience for months to come. Showbread is one of many modern post-hardcore bands that have infused screaming into many different styles of music, but has differentiated itself from the typical post-hardcore band in many ways. The band`s two vocalists, Josh Dies and Ivory Mobley, trade off in dueling vocals which alternate between yelling, screaming, and singing. This effect, combined with the band`s frenetic live shows, have caused the band to occasionally be labeled as a "spazz rock" band. In addition, Showbread is one of the few post-hardcore bands that use a keytar. Furthermore, they are known for wearing matching outfits when performing, usually in red and black but more recently green replacing red in support of their new album Age of Reptiles. In keeping with their campaign for originality 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."
