Nevada’s underground music scene is establishing an interesting identity, and Hate At First Sight's rock track “Baseline” offers another look at the sound behind that burgeoning interest.
Hate At First Sight has been called an act that spans several decades of alternative music, occupying an unusual gap between generations of rock and alternative influence. “Baseline” is one piece of that bigger identity, putting out the band in a more rock-oriented way that captures the spirit of an up-and-coming underground outfit.
The combination of geography and musical direction is what makes the ensemble so unique. Hate At First Sight is rooted in Nevada’s underground scene and has an innate tie to a culture of independent expression. The fact that they can cross generations of alternative music reveals a sound that is not limited to a single point in time. “Baseline” is the canvas for that identity. It’s a rock tune, and that puts the band’s alternative character firmly in focus, and contributes to the building picture of an act that is finding its own position within the scene.
There’s something exhilarating about finding musicians while they’re still working on laying down their musical footprint. Hate At First Sight are at that stage where the increased international interest is adding a new depth to their story. And “Baseline” is part of that movement, an act whose underground roots are beginning to get some attention outside its immediate surroundings.
