Although their stage presence will suggest that they can be the biggest band in the world, Miranda is one of those bands you want to own, hoping that they stay small and great (because the small club is the only way to see them).

While innumerable vagabond bands ponder the inevitability of a record deal and offer nothing but years of frustration to pitiless strangers on stages in city after city, bands like Columbus, Ohio’s Miranda Sound make every show the opportunity to land the money shot. Western Reserve, their pounding third full-length disc, is wrought with lumpy lyrical styles and meshed melodies. Although their stage presence will suggest that they can be the biggest band in the world, Miranda is one of those bands you want to own, hoping that they stay small and great (because the small club is the only way to see them). A Fugazi for the next generation. Stand back, because the sweat is going to fly.
