Guilty Giraffe
Guilty Giraffe are a band hailing from Yonkers, NY, blending genres such as punk, grunge, shoegaze, and metal into one big melting pot of controlled chaos. The band has been playing around the NY, NJ area for almost 3 years now consistently. Guitarist/vocalist Mathew McGinnis introduces lush and powerful layers of guitars over powerful, rampant, and intricate drumming by Felipe Reis who has performed the drums on all Guilty Giraffe projects. Guilty Giraffe’s live lineup includes new members Will Vellek on guitar, Shane Sumano on bass, and Kevin Knebel on drums.
New album, Filtered follows up their past two projects, A Time to Slime, Server Error, and EP Running on Empty all available on Mint 400 Records. All of their projects are almost entirely self produced, however with this new album Guilty Giraffe decided to use an array of different people to help mix and master tracks in addition to doing so themselves. The album still manages to sound cohesive even with different people adding their touch on certain tracks. Filtered offers a continuation of sounds the band has explored in the past, noisey interludes, thick walls of sound, psychedelic riffs, and heavy breakdowns. This band will be sure to catch the ears of listeners who like No Age, A Place to Bury Strangers, Cloud Nothings, Fugazi, Metz, and The Deftones.
