Antlered Aunt Lord at Big Takeover
As Antlered Aunt Lord, Tunabunnydrummer, Jesse Stinnard, serves up his solo debut of odd, incongruent lo-fi recordings that somehow make sense as an album.

Two profane Detroit girls gone to DC, Aissa and Blue try on styles like clashing flashions on these four tracks (three… Continue reading Noon:30 at Big Takeover

The Pittsburgh-based band, formed by vocalist and guitarist Ben Harrison with local musicians including Jeff Baron of The Essex Green and Ladybug Transistor (the current line up includes drummer Sean Finn,David Horn on bass, guitarist… Continue reading Stutter Steps at Big Takeover
