Stnnng
Stnnng doesn't perform a two-guitar, 100-proof brand of angular punk as much as it unleashes it. Distorted, but carefully mapped, guitar lines slash and stab at listeners' ears, weaving around each other before they crash into a pummeling wall of percussion or singer Besinger roars into the spotlight.
Martha's Vineyard Ferries
Martha’s Vineyard Ferries is a summer fun punk band, created by Elisha Wiesner (Kahoots), Bob Weston (Shellac, Volcano Suns, Mission of Burma), and Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine, The New Year), when they got together for a few days in 2009.
The Gary
The Gary's sound is as rooted in a sense of place as it is in their influences (Silkworm, Guided By Voices, Chicago post-rock, New Zealand noise-rock, etc.). Lyrics and song delivery convey the sense of defeat accompanied by "getting by" in their Austin/Central Texas surroundings...
