The members of I the Mighty are well-rehearsed and professional, taking a decidedly driven approach to rehearsal and performance. Lead vocalist, Brent Walsh, mostly sings clean but releases guttural growls in sparse moments to add texture and aggression. Blake Dahlinger’s drumming is violent and constantly shifting to meet the needs of the sprinting guitar riffs and vocal runs. I the Mighty are committed fans of Coheed and Cambria and the influence is apparent throughout the record, especially in its more cosmic or ethereal moments. “Connector” is a progressive release that contains moody samples, melodic pop vocals, and crunchy breakdowns. The record is a natural follow-up to Satori, but focuses on tight arrangements and even more difficult instrumental parts to challenge their live performance chops. This year they released their sophomore record, “Connector,” which charted on Billboard’s Top Rock list. Their debut, “Satori,” was met with overwhelmingly positive reception, charting at #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. They formed in 2007, self-released two EP’s, and were signed to Equal Vision in 2011. I the Mighty is a progressive post-hardcore band who have extensively toured with genre heavyweights like Enter Shikari, Architects, and letlive.
