Open, O Coloured World (ex-Pomegranates/Healing Power) - RIP

Christian Psychedelic Shoegaze Pop from Cincinnati, OH

I saw them in the basement of the Methodist Church in the Gaslight District of Clifton (Cincinnati), OH.  It was at a "Books for Prisoners" benefit.  Their music was astonishing and it (as well as their aesthetics) hinted at what was to come with Pomegranates/Healing Power.

Stream a couple of their tracks here:

If you have their demo, please contact me immediately.  timothyadams1 - gmail com

(EDIT: Other acts at the show included Bludstone/Gojira, Andreas Chronis, and Realicide.)
