Strange Pains
"Like a more melancholy Guided By Voices, “Garden Grows Regardless” churns along with a powerful undertow, Billings’ lyrics nearly disappearing under the surf." - Stereogum
Strange Pains is the latest project from Ted Billings(Age Rings, Philosophical Zombie), blending punk, alt rock and electronic elements. Billings explores lyrical themes of memory, dreams, mortality and meaning of life with a delivery at times both surreal and urgent. "Beeswax", the first in a string of singles, will be released on 1/13.
Helenor
Helenor is the musical moniker for visual artist, songwriter and producer, David DiAngelis.
The DIY debut LP Something Twice was written, recorded, and produced at home, as well as self-released.
Something Twice has since found support from notable publications such as The Line of Best Fit, Birp.fm, David Dean Burkhart, and more.
“Channeling the likes of Deerhunter and Beck, Helenor captures a moment with blissful indie pop” - The Line of Best Fit
Beeef
Brought together in 2015 in a basement not unlike most others in the student neighborhood of Allston, MA, Beeef channels the college rock traditions of the ‘80s and ‘90s while balancing infectious hooks, anthemic energy, and pensive meditations on twenty-something existential snags. Following the success of their 2017 debut, A Beeef CD, the band released its second full-length in July 2019 titled Bull in the Shade. Beeef has collaborated with the likes of Sidney Gish, sharied bills with bands like Alvvays, Sheer Mag, and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, and has been highlighted by such publications as NPR Music, ALT Citizen, and Post Trash.
