about this album
Reviews: Hosta – Hosta EP Self-Released (KXUA 88.3 - DJ EJ) Hosta is a Fayetteville band which formed in 2008. Made up of locals Greg Moore (guitar, keyboards, effects, vocals), Iris Shepard (bass, guitar, vocals), and Randy Kehne (drums, percussion, vocals), they’ve been actively playing the house show and local venue circuit, as well as a breakout performance the Art Amiss 9 show. Greg’s vocal style transports him into the realm of Pixies’ Black Francis, while the lyrical content has that twinge of Moldy Peaches sarcasm. For Iris’ songs the mood is quite different. There’s a touch of the melancholy in her lyrics, and her vocal delivery is reminiscent of the deadpan style of Kim Gordon or a Velvet Underground era Nico. Steady on drums, Randy securely anchors the beat in songs which, for the novice fan, unexpectedly change mood and tempo. Give this EP a good close listen, but see them live the next chance you get!
