No Swoon is a LA Duo who have given us the honor of debuting their amazing new single, "Again." Of the song singer Tasha Abbott says it's "...about when days begin and end with no real definition, about being stuck in the loop of our life where you feel like you can't get out. It is easy to lose focus and lose sight of what's important amidst the daily tasks and schedule.”
See No Swoon at Treefort Festival in Boise, ID next spring.

"Lifesize’ is about the worship of the ‘strong man’ image often present in our political and cultural discourse. One where the patriarchal underpinnings of our society and political structure goes unchallenged. After a particularly gruelling year, when people have looked to leaders for strength, we’ve found instead empty gestures and contempt. (“Talk like a salesman, walks like the Pope.”) We don’t need more macho bravado; society needs empathy and compassion." - tvpriest.bandcamp.com
“A Better Treatment” began as a song about a friend who died but through the turmoil of collaboration transformed into something more macroscopic and opaque, blurring the boundary between hopeful and defeated (“I thought loving someone would cure my self-hatred”). - spiceispain.bandcamp.com
Debut album from this synth driven post punk band from Melbourne Australia - screensaver.bandcamp.com

Guitarist Alex Scally shared how much he’s looking forward to the return of live music, sharing “I think I’m going to weep when I’m in a crowd of people, shoulder-to-shoulder, hearing loud sound coming from a stage. It’s just so beautiful, and it means so much to everyone to be able to commune in that way. It’s been terrible for the world not to have that, and I can’t wait for it to return.” bit.ly/3F1GQBM
