Haunter is rock and roll. Like Keith Richards falling drunk out of a coconut tree or Tina Turner in her mini skirt, 1969, melting the microphone with her voice and the camera with her body. Rock and roll should be tragic and dangerous, full of possibility and defined by its beautiful imperfections. This is Haunter. They play electric guitar rock full of pop hooks, ambitious melodies and a rhythm section that explodes like a house on fire. Lead singer Matt Williams is fearless and intelligent, too young to be frightening but wild enough to make you worried. This is hopeful, celebratory music that inspires and takes risks - equal parts truth and imagination. Think Pavement meets a younger, drunker Bruce Springsteen.
