Indie quartet Sorority Noise were formed in 2013 by singer/guitarist Cameron Boucher, who also fronts New Hampshire-based screamo group Old Gray. Looking for an outlet for some of his newer material, he enlisted Old Gray drummer Charlie Singer along with Prawn bassist Ryan McKenna and second guitarist Adam Ackerman to form Sorority Noise in Hartford, Connecticut. After a handful of early releases, Boucher and his bandmates delivered their debut LP, Forgettable. Fusing bits of emo and pop-punk with melodic indie rock, the band eventually caught the attention of respected East Coast indie Top Shelf Records. Joy, Departed, their follow-up album, took a more diverse and introspective approach. ~ Timothy Monger
