🎧 Local Music Lowdown: The Black Tones

Cedric and Eva aren’t just siblings they’re twins who front the rock and roll band The Black Tones. I’m not really sure if this week’s band needs any introduction. They’re one of Seattle’s best local bands that still fly relatively under the radar outside the PNW, which is a shame for everyone else but a […]

🎧 Local Music Lowdown: BEARAXE

This week’s profile is another one recommended to me by a reader and boy I’m sure glad they reached out (thanks Sarah M.)  BEARAXE is another rock ‘n’ roll-type band whose sound clearly draws from local grunge predecessors like Soundgarden. Lead singer Shaina Shepherd’s impressive range is thanks to growing up listening to gospel and […]

Chong the Nomad released the EP “A Long Walk” in August. The EP can be streamed on all major platforms. Seattle is best known for being home to grunge. Sometimes it feels like people forget that The Sonics (the band, not the team), Kenny G, and Quincy Jones are all from the city, too. It […]

🎧 Local Music Lowdown: davey + Sol

“Not Me” features Seattle rapper, Soul and is the latest single from David Ansari’s new solo project davey. Your patience with me for not having a new artist to highlight last week will be rewarded with today’s double feature. Both artists are from Seattle and made a name for themselves in the music scene. David […]

🎧 Local Music Lowdown: Black Ends

L to R: Jonny Modes (drums), Nicolle Swims (vocals/guitar) and Ben Swanson (bass) Chiara Neyman The grunge influence in the band we’re featuring this week is more than just a little obvious. But give their music a listen and you’ll pick up on the garage-rock/punk/pop sound that your mom might just call “noise” but you […]

Falon Sierra started to turn heads in 2017 thanks to her appearance in MoPop’s Sound Off! finals—a 21-and-under battle of the bands style competition. She has […]
