Tequila Sirens began as a new musical endeavor from Shaun Curran, formerly of Soft Pyramids. Redesigner EP was written and produced at the Napoleon Complex in Somerville, MA with a cast of fellow Boston-area musicians including Dwight Hutchenson (Soft Pyramids), John Nolan (Folk Physics), Brian McCarthy (B. Francois), and Tyler Drabick (Otis Grove).
March 19, 2021 saw the release Fast Clouds. The EP was written and recorded remotely with more contributions from Dwight Hutchenson. Other contributions were made by a large cast of greater Boston musicians.
The Shame single was released in November of 2022 as a way to shed the last remaining songs of the long formation of solidifying a band line up.
Tequila Sirens is now a full band project with Shaun Curran (Keys/vocals), Dwight Hutchenson (Guitar/vocals), Whit Love (Bass), and Matt Masuzzo (Drums).
Twin Foxes
Twin Foxes emerged out of Jared Mann’s desire to front his own band after years drumming for Willow and serving as a guitarist/songwriter with Big Tall Buildings, longing to explore a heavier indie-punk sound. Together with Andrew Fortin on bass and Carlos Molina on drums in the winter of 2014, Mann recorded the band’s first three-song cassette demo 2014. A Self-titled 7-inch followed, released by Full City Sour and on cassette via Disposable America in 2015 which included the single "Year on a String." Twin Foxes then spent most of 2015 touring East coast, Midwest, and Canada as they planned their next move. By early 2016 Carlos Molina left the band and Dylan Partridge emerged to replace him on drums, with the new band lineup touring down to SXSW that spring. Mann completed work on a home recording studio in the deep woods of North Smithfield, RI. Dubbed “Distorted Forest,” the new studio proved the ideal location to record their first full-length album full of heavy, dark, and deep tracks. That first LP, Sleeping on the Attic Floor was released in February 2018 through Tor Johnson Records and Midnight Werewolf Records. Shortly thereafter, Trevor White came on as second guitarist and Dylan Partridge shuffled out. The current three-man team of Mann, Fortin, and White share songwriting duties across all their songs and are accompanied by a rotating cast of drummers. They cite influences that range from Modest Mouse and Weakerthans to Jawbreaker and Superchunk.
JATK
JATK (pronounced “Jack”), the power-pop project from Boston-based songwriter Matt Jatkola and his circle of collaborators, cranks up an arsenal of hooks and riffs with affecting jolts of guitar-rock reflected through a knack for pop melody. After the release of a number of eclectic singles, the debut full-length album 'Shut Up And Be The Light' is out now!
