In the Cinema brings an artful sound never heard before. Not to mention, their unique music style is nearly impossible to compare with other artists. This sort of quality is what most artists strive to achieve. Many artists accomplish this task, but they do not produce the kind of quality music that people enjoy over and over. Where other artists have failed, the brother duo, Ryan and Joe Hughes have succeeded by doing what others only dream of. Ryan and Joe have taken the traditional art of folk music, combined it with modern rock and tied it with an electronica sensibility to create, In the Cinema. \n\nListen to music from their 2010 debut album, For the Struggle with a special appearance by the band, here at: http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-16T08_34_02-07_00\n\nRead an exclusive interview with Ryan and Joe at: http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/interview-with-in-cinema-cinematic.html \n

Listen to runner up band from Mt. SAC's 1st Annual Battle of the Bands. They surpassed 14 other bands to finish in the 2nd spot.
