Bands to Watch: Picturesque


Words by: Summer Hartley

Picturesque is a five piece rock band thriving from Lexington, KY, and they're gonna be the next big thing. The band consists of Zach Williamson and Dylan Forrester on guitar, Kyle Hollis on vocals, Robert Mote on bass, and Cole Clark on the drums. Coming out of a town full of talent, these five shot out of the scene like a cannon after doing live shows and releasing their free EP. The band only began in 2014, dropping their hometown debut show in early 2015 (right in Lexington, KY), and already the band has landed attention from a worldwide crowd. Picturesque has 4,756 likes on their Facebook page (as of 5/24/15), but they grow in their fanbase by the day, bringing in more and more people with the kick ass music and genuine connection they have with the people who love their music.

Picturesque has a sound not found in many, but definitely loved by many. Being compared to the likes of Circa Survive, Sleeping With Sirens, and Of Machines, Picturesque has something special to them, whether it be their music that makes you want to sing along and kick stuff over or the fact that they are just plain talented and genuine in what they do. Kyle is known for having better vocals than 99% of the population, while Zach and Dylan bring fresh guitar mixes that sound professional and precise behind everything. Then you have the low end with Robert and Cole, who keep the song pumping without you even realizing it. Wrap all these sounds together and you can almost smell the record deals in the distance.

The boys are currently working on new music, but right now you can pick up their debut EP off of Bandcamp for free, or you can pay what you want.
