Unlike Sturm und Drang, the German literary movement for which they are named, Storm and Stress eschews forms and patterns. Ian Williams and Eric Topolsky of Don Caballero join drummer-percussionist Kevin Shea to create the oddly decompressed, antigravitational world of Storm and Stress. The band is characterized by bursts of free expression that walk a tightrope between avant-jazz freedom and a desperate but sincere desire to "really be a rock band."
