Originally it might have been accurate to call Shudder to Think a punk band, though their sound has varied greatly since their inception in 1986. The best way to describe the group is to say that they are musical rule breakers. Warped timing, odd chords and harmonies along with singer Craig Wendren's unashamed operatic vocals make for a decidedly radio-unfriendly sound. Multiple listenings are required to grasp the group's complexity and depth. Most recently the group released the soundtrack to the movie High Art.
