Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #4: the Bynars

Every day I'll be posting an Artist Showcase--a short introduction to each one of the bands playing Mass Recovery Fest this year. I've been lucky enough to enlist the help of Tony Marciello who wrote half the reviews including this one.

The Bynars



There’s something about synthesizers and pop chord progressions that just makes people want to party (Don’t believe me? Do some research on the 1980s). It is thereby only appropriate that the first single, and title track, off of the Bynars’ latest release be entitled “Party All Nite.” It only takes one listen to get it, get hooked, get up, and start dancing. As if this wasn’t enough, The Bynars combine their synth-pop stylings with an ever-lovable affinity for nerd-dom and the hopeless reflections that come with it. Like the goofy brain who somehow beats the jock for the girl, one can’t help but root for these guys.

The Bynars are comprised of Mike Champ on drums, Kiel Szivos on bass, Ben Mettey on synthesizers, and Matt Jatkola on guitar and vocals. They’ll be playing Day 1 of this year’s Mass Recovery Fest; so don’t forget your dancing shoes, and a Storm Trooper helmet if you’ve got one.
