PRIESTS

Priests are the sort of band that is unafraid to look you right in the eye and beg answers to big questions. In early 2012, Priests began playing frantic post-punk, full of tempered tension and thoughtful rage and relentless energy that would come from living in the microcosm of institutional oppression that is DC. Their music conveys a sense of unmatched urgency in their smart, politically charged, noisy songs.
You'd think it would be hard to capture Priests' intensity on a slab of vinyl, but all the dark, aggressive sounds and kinetic energy their known for live come across on Bodies and Control and Money and Power. From the paranoid truths of "And Breeding" to the ripping "Modern Love No Weapon" to the creepy goth feel of "Doctor," it's Priests at their best. Essential. Recorded at Inner Ear Studio with Hugh McElroy and Kevin Erickson, and by Kyle ‘Slick’ Johnson at Fancy Time Studio.

Fuzz punk from Wisconsin, flecked with improv experimentation and a touch of pop, who have been dishing out a slew of splits since 2009 including 2013’s collab with Screaming Females, along with two full lengths. New album on Don Giovanni Records in the works!

Cincinnati noise-pop trio returns to Ithaca! Huge, driving swaths of fuzzed out guitar wash pop to blurred out garage jangle, these three mangle and wrangle hooks and noise into something wonderful.
