The band Akron/Family isn't an easy group to categorize. They are often pushed into the folk genre or called an "experimental"
type of rock or another genre. While their sound may not be simply defined, it is best experienced at one of their live shows.
Check them out in concert, like at their upcoming show at The
Echo in Los Angeles.
The founding members of Akron/Family hail from the East Coast and West Coast, and they emerged on the scene in 2005 with
their self-titled debut album, which was recorded in Brooklyn. Their sound instantly brought praise from critics and comparisons
to everything from folk to '60s rock and psychedelia. Every subsequent release brought more fans to their tour dates.
One of the draws of Akron/Family is the fact that they still remain relatively obscure despite their cult following. The
band members guard their private lives fiercely, and little is known about each of them. Fans seem to appreciate their work
even more in light of their mysterious ways, which explains the droves of fans at their concert
dates.
Because the band's music doesn't fit neatly into one genre, Akron/Family is able to attract a wide range of followers.
Fans of experimental rock will inevitably love Akron/Family, but they can also appeal to those who like folk, psychedelic
rock and many other genres. Make your night out a memorable one by seeing Akron/Family live in concert.
