We Were Thinking of Evolving (Wake Up): The music and videos of K Sera

Alternative, Music Posted by Clarke 4 Comments

Just today I happily discovered the music of the band K Sera. Following some of the bands links, I was brought to a couple of music videos that really caught my eye. The videos are fresh and fun, full of life, full of energy. The music is classified as alternative, but what really is alternative these days—since the early eighties anyways? But we can give K Sera the alternative banner to wave, cause their music could simply not be classified any other way. K Sera’s music is a quirky explosion of multiple genres. On another website I saw that their music got stuffed into three simple categories. But that just cheapened it for me. The music of K Sera is too good to just be passed off as Indie, Rock and Experimental.

With style pretty much his own, Lead Singer Mike Caswell belts out much of the lyrics. But you can catch glimpses of undertones, of a terrific voice just begging to sing a quiet, more gentle solo. The other members of the band have just as much energy and play their instruments with force. That’s why I call K Sera an explosion of sound. Each band member’s musical influence seems to jump in at anytime. Drummer Dustin Combs is wild!

The standout for me besides the lead singer, is Keyboardist David Christensen. His fingers leap from note to note with runs of semi-tones that hint of songs yet to come. He’s a musician’s musician. He’s not hard to look at either. They’re all super cute, and so are all of their friends. Well, at least the ones in the videos anyway. Yes, super cute and super talented, making super great music! Their music is so strong, their sound so scrumptious, that anyone will enjoy sinking their teeth into these tunes.

Here’s a video to get yourself acquainted… I really like this song and video, plus the cool charm of Thomas Dutton singing his cameo with such intensity. I’m looking forward to hearing more music and seeing more cool videos from K Sera.
