The Reference is an Ann Arbor based power trio delivering raw, unfiltered garage rock. Featuring Sean E. (bass/vocals), Lee Schroeder (drums/vocals), and Craig Pacernick (guitar/vocals), the trio trades lead vocals over a noisy blend of catchy hooks and basement-born riffs. They chronicle the grit of middle age with a vintage genre-defying sound played at high volume. Deeply rooted in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi music scene, The Reference makes music that feels as real as the everyday challenges it describes.
