Aaron Hill & The Crimson Guard

Melodic, intelligent rock from a genre-bending wordsmith. Aaron Hill & The Crimson Guard is the latest project from the former lead singer of NYC-based bands Conquistador (as seen on Comedy Central's Premium Blend) and The U.S. Patent Office. Someone once described his vocal style as Green Day meets the cast of Rent. Aaron still isn't sure if that was a compliment or a slight, but the man was smiling affably when he said it, for what it's worth.

Even when it isn't apparent at first glance, Aaron's material comes straight from his life experiences. "The stuff I write that really pleases me comes from some emotional reaction to current events, personal or otherwise. Even if it seems obtuse and nonsensical, it's usually because the topic is too personal to discuss plainly, so I code it until it's about two steps away from straight speech. I've tried writing nonsense; I never want to listen to those songs much after I write them, and I always prefer to write songs I would want to hear. It's the only goal I can rely on."
