Modern Heist is an indie rock band delved in heavy folk, classic rock, dirty blues, as well as influences ripped from hard rock/punk, and sometimes even pop. Our genre is alternative indie but our style exceeds that large box. We are better thought of as Post-coffeehouse, dirty Blues-Core, or Heavy Folk Rock Roots music. We are Modern Heist.
Modern Heist’s all i ever loved: Is the result of our heart, soul, and a heaping dose of obsession. Some of these songs have been over 6 years in the making, but really it is lifetimes of experiences culminated. Some of this experience is cyclical, coming directly from our music a positive feedback to our own inspiration and that of others. People have introduced themselves telling us that they are struggling. Some with drugs, some with disorders or disease, some with loss, and some without a tangible reason at all. But they tell us that our music helps them through, and helps them recover.
During one particular show i noticed a man, who we did not know, dancing enthusiastically with a huge smile on his face. I’m not sure i have ever seen someone have so much fun so I introduced myself. He then proceeded to tell me the most ridiculous story i have ever heard. He was visiting from Iran and that was the first live music performance he had ever seen... ridiculous, but awesome to meet the guy. So needless to say, we have made many friends in this musical journey. Unfortunately, we also lost a few. Our hope is this album will allow our songs to reach more ears, and hopefully give someone else somewhere out there some of the comfort we ourselves have found in music.
