Hiva Oa is the Belfast-based creative endeavor of Stephen Houlihan, Christine Tubridy and ChrisMcCorry. The sound merges dark, omnipotent bass variants with aggressive, rumbling drums and guitars to lay the cornerstone for a subdued yet contemplative vocal delivery. The band's extensively spanning musical tastes impact the diversity of the sound, swaying readily from electronic constructs to agitated noise rock and beyond.
