Annabel
Kent, Ohio
Formed in late 2004 by brothers Andy and Ben Hendricks, Annabel has been a band devoted to constant progression. With guitars that simultaneously bite and shimmer, kinetic drums, and Scotty Moses's silver-tongued bass lines, Annabel has created a sound both exuberant and lush; indie-pop with the energy of punk rock and atmosphere of shoegaze. The key, however, is the songs themselves, filled with soaring melodies and massive sing-along moments.
In 2009, the Kent, OH troupe released their debut full-length, Each and Everyone, on Count Your Lucky Stars Records after a trio of self-released EP's. With the recent addition of guitarist/keyboardist Corey Willis, the band is set to release their follow-up EP Here We Are Tomorrow later this summer.
