Carrie Zhu and her band are students at USC coming from the Chinese Music Club Crescendo. Bringing electrifying pop-rock Carrie blasts a hole straight through the screen with her anthemic songs accompanied by moments of quiet contemplation and blistering guitar solos. Feedback is not to be feared and Leo lays a firey lead guitar over the RnB-inspired rhythm section held down by Wenda Gu's sparse and decisive basslines on top of Andy Liu's Dynamic Drumming. Jack Lin, ever-present, creates a bed of synthy goodness that wraps around the whole band. Charles Cui joins in on the second song to create a powerful duet.
