At first glance, the thought of setting emo bangers to orchestral strings doesn’t sound real. How could the soothing nature of classical music ever match up to the angst and grit of the Warped Tour scene? However, this juxtaposition creates the most magical blend of emotionally charged lyrics and dynamic instrumentation.
