Patchwork

Patchwork is the newest addition to the student stage line up this year, having formed only months ago in order to compete in Battle of the Bands.

Patchwork's sound is one of the most accessible sounds on the bill for the student stage. The band is young—all the members are freshmen and their excitement shows in their upbeat and sprightly music, driven by group harmonies and violin lines layered over rock sounds. Anywhere else, the fun, poppy sound of Patchwork might blend into a sea of soft rock, but here at Seattle University, Patchwork will be a refreshing reminder that sometimes quirky is not all its cracked up to be. Regardless of how this band stacks up against the more experienced or more Seattle-esque bands in the lineup, Patchwork's set is sure to be silly, clean, rollicking, joyful, and maybe even a little bit of bubble-gummy fun. "The more smiles and the more dancing that goes on in the crowd, the better," said guitarist Riley Amos.
