Vance was a founding member of Moss Icon, now considered by many to be an originator of the emo hardcore style.This debut stakes out a middle distance between dance music and punk rock, but has little to do with the recent rash of proto-new wave punk-funk bands flooding the market lately. Vance's music eschews the jerky rhythms and jittery angst of his peers, focusing instead on building an unstoppable momentum with a feeling of emotional, intellectual, and spiritual clarity. His voice is emotive and passionate; his beats and drones are meditative and intense.
