This is my love letter to all the queer musicians out there, making art and kicking ass. If there's an artist you think I should know about, please let me know, I love new music! (I also reblog/post on general queer and trans stuff, as well as some more personal things, hope that's all right).
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This is Silence Kid, a two-piece garage-y type indie band out of Baltimore Maryland.
This is bare bones rock stripped down to guitar and drums. It’s everything you could want out of such a band: fuzzy riffs, snare heavy drum work, and a singer with a great, low, soothing vocal style that at times can get that kind of Marissa Paternoster (of Screaming Females) warble. Their first demo is a low budget affair, like it was recorded from 50 feet away, adding to the atmosphere. This is garage rock through and through, and is definitely for fans of genre who want the music, and not the pretension that often comes with it.
