(oDiE) melds elements of Midwest emo\, p ost-hardcore\, and post-rock into a style that is uniquely theirs and diff icult to place in a box. oDiE aims to explore the highs and lows of the hu man experience\; while not overtly political\, they do not shy from addres sing issues of equity\, privilege\, and power dynamics. One song may find a polyrhythmic drumbeat\, a twinkling lead\, an atypical chord structure\, a prodding bass line\, and an emotive vocal phrase all directing the list ener to think\, listen\, and react. oDiE also mixes in sound samples and v isual projection to heighten the experience. \; Formed in Madison\, WI --a town known for its university and the transience that comes with that- -oDiE consists of native Madisonians and implants from around the country. The current lineup includes Erik Rasmuson on drums\, J Granberg on bass\, Brandon Boggess on guitar\, Shawn Bass on guitar and vocals\, and Katya o n vocals\, sound samples\, video projection\, and occasional synth musings . \;  \;\n\nCONTACT: music@union.wisc.edu\n\nURL: https://union.wi sc.edu/events-and-activities/event-calendar/event/or-does-it-explode LOCATION:The Terrace (See Event Details)\, Memorial Union SUMMARY:Or Does It Explode?
