====== Kerith Ravine ======

Emo\\
Alliance, Ohio, USA

From [[Bulletproof Music]]: "Hailing from the small town of Alliance, Ohio, this foursome exudes a genuine passion for innovation and emotion through their music and patiently crafts each of their songs to its best.

The result lands musically somewhere between Radiohead and Chopin - with touches of Jeremy Enigk and Smashing Pumpkins surfacing from time to time. While far from oblique or dodgy, the band's lyrics stand well on their own as poetry and serve to inspire both contemplation and devotion among believers.

The name Kerith Ravine references I Kings 17, in which God told Elijah to go and rest himself in the ravine of Kerith. It was there that ravens brought Elijah food and he was at peace."

From BandCamp: "Mixing a bit of the ancient with the cutting edge, Kerith Ravine attempted to create a new wave of music called "engineering rock." The result landed somewhere between Radiohead and Chopin."
