Brooklyn, NY 11211Widowspeak
Widowspeak is a Brooklyn, New York, United States-based quartet that play hazy atmospheric dream pop and shoegaze, formed in 2010.
There are aspects of the band's sound - abrasive guitar hooks, immediate drumming, and incessant codas - that speak to living in a big city. But there's also a dreary sparseness, a David Lynch-esque darkness, culled from the other members' native Washington.
The band's skeletal sound began to take shape, with Robert's rust-belt guitar parts lending a restless, sinister edge to Molly's subdued melodies and soft vocal style. Writing became a collaborative effort, and Widowspeak racked up an arsenal of songs. By fall the trio had recorded a six-track cassette using only a built-in laptop microphone and Garageband. The self-released October Tape, as it was called, fell into the hands of Brooklyn's Captured Tracks. Weeks later, after only their sixth show, Widowspeak recorded the 7" single Harsh Realm, in anticipation of a full LP.
Their eponymous debut LP was released on August 9th, 2011 on Captured Tracks.
The original lineup :
Molly Hamilton - guitar, vocals;
Robert Thomas - guitar;
Michael Stasiak - drums.

Eternal Summers
Eternal Summers hail from the Magic Twig Community of Roanoke, VA, a tight knit collective of musicians whose bands share instruments as well as personnel. Eternal Summers started as a two-piece project between guitarist/vocalist Nicole Yun and drummer Daniel Cundiff. Their sound has been described as lo-fi, jangly dream-punk, although these descriptors cannot capture the beauty and energy found in the music of Eternal Summers. The band released their debut LP, "Silver", on Kanine Records in 2010 and followed that up with 2011's "Dawn of the Eternal Summers" LP. They have since added bassist Jonathan Woods to thicken their sound, which is evident on their new LP, "Correct Behavior" due July 24 on Kanine Records.

Shark?
from the briny deep. Songs soaked in ocean mist. business in the front, rows and rows of razor sharp teeth in the back. vague and unsettling. perpetual forward motion. or death.
