In Medias Res

Band,
Alternative

Born out of the legendary 2 Keys House, In Medias Res hit the scene with a much-needed dose of frenetic post-punk. Operating within the burgeoning St. Louis punk underground of the early aughts, the band's brand of electrically charged dance punk quickly became a crowd favorite, offering balance to a mainly hardcore community. At venues like the Rocket Bar and Creepy Crawl, IMR exerted the quintessential cool opening for acts such as Q and Not U, Les Savy Fav and 90 Day Men. By combining the off-kilter staccato of guitarist Kit Gusmundo with the fluidity of Delf/Meyer's punk-funk rhythms, In Medias Res created explosive post-punk you could move to. Often known to whip fans into an out-of-control dance party, anthemic crowd-pleasers like "Labor of Love," exhibited singer Jason Sim's ability to shift from languid drawl to angst-ridden howl. Merging the structural ridges of post-punk with the stylistic versatility of experimentation, this expert live band's shining originality serves as inspiration to anyone doubting St. Louis musical significance.
