lots of hands
lots of hands into a pretty room — lots of hands’ debut on Fire Talk Records — exists in the tear-stained early mornings of adolescence, just as the sun makes its first appearance over the horizon and thoughts of the night before begin to subside.

Marietta
MARIETTA Marietta started in 2011 when Ethan asked Evan if he wanted to start a band.

Full of richly textured layers of sound, songs like new single “Judgment Bolt” draw […]

Unwound
UNWOUND Born in 1991 in the Pacific Northwest as the Riot Grrrl and grunge musico-social movements took hold of underground pop culture, Unwound leveled their small corner of the ’90s punk scene with a scathing futuristic barrage of noise.
