Defining Akimbo and their music is an impossible task because they defy simple categorization. Paying tribute to the fundamentals of Punk, Metal, Rock and Hardcore by displaying a thourough mastery over their instruments and engulfing the audience with a raw passion for their art. They push boundaries and limitations asside to create something that defies Brand or Genre. Anyone who tells you that 'Music is dead' has not seen or heard this band. They have resurrected music, only to crush it with their bare hands. They will destroy your concept of 'Hardcore' and bury it in the ashes of that which you once held sacred. Don't be fooled by their calm and gentle demeanor. Onstage, and in the studio, they unleash a force that cannot be ignored. You've been warned. Dramatics asside, my respect and admiration for this band has been repeatedly reinforced by the many people and bands that have seen/played/toured with Akimbo. check'em out: http://www.myspace.com/akimbo
