Maple Stave Durham, North Carolina
Since 2003, Andy Hull (baritone guitar), Evan Rowe (drums), and Chris Williams (baritone guitar, vocals), have written songs to overwhelm. In 2019, Chris Rasmussen (bass) joined to add even lower-end. Arguments, their 3rd LP, due August 2023, is an explosive amalgamation of what’s come before and a tense, heavy album of loud songs about difficult things. RIYL: Louisville, T&G, Unwound, aluminum. ... more
Maple Stave recommends:
This is the sound of the way the world ends. Heavier than seems possible, devastating. A rare perfect union of music, voice, and lyrics; all of them tear you apart. Somehow there's hope in here too.

Nonagon go past making me want to quit and into making me want to try harder. A beautiful & compelling cacophony, this must be what it feels like to be inside a coffee grinder. Best drummer ITW. BFFs.

Phratry Records label-mates Knife The Symphony from Cincinnati, Ohio owe a debt to Dischord, SST and Touch & Go. Bring your earplugs.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
