Cleave is a four-piece alternative rock band from St.Paul, Austria. A national radio host stated that their “empathetic riffs and piano parts make Cleave’s music a lyrical rest. Cleave’s work proves that it is possible to depict emotions without appearing tacky”. The band spent the summer and fall 2007 to record their latest album Evoke the Self and released it on March 7, 2008.
They are going to touch your tympanic membrane and will motivate you to explore yourself and the world around you. The four band members have come together to live their common vision of what making music should feel like. Cleave wants to melodize experiences, thoughts and feelings from deep within – being influenced by bands which attempt the same – without trying to fit what is hip and hot at the moment. It is very personal music, and therefore always zeitgeisty.
