Colatura
The Classic Hunt
Glitterspitter
Colatura crafts a sound that is sometimes dreamy, sometimes heavy, with fuzzy guitars, catchy melodies, and emotionally charged storytelling. A staple of the Brooklyn music scene, the band relocated to Pittsburgh in 2024 and splits time between the two cities.

Colatura has played major festivals, including SXSW, NXNE, New Colossus Festival, and Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party, and has shared a stage with artists like Slow Pulp, Hinds, Nation of Language, and Pom Pom Squad. They have been described live as “like sunshine streaming out of an amplifier with its volume set at nine” (Full Time Aesthetic).

Colatura’s debut album, And Then I’ll Be Happy (2022), was celebrated with a release show at The Sultan Room in Brooklyn and a national tour. In 2024, they followed it with Suffer Dude and Do You Miss Her, an A/B side produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma). Their music has earned praise from outlets such as Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, Consequence, Austin Town Hall, and Atwood, and has been featured on Spotify’s All New Rock playlist and as the cover of Pandora’s AMP: Fresh Cuts station.

Colatura has been featured on radio stations such as KEXP, DKFM, WFUV, and WYEP, where they were also featured as Artist of the Week and performed a session live on air. This summer, Colatura returns with If I’m Being Honest, an EP produced by Nixon Boyd (Hollerado), out on Easy Does It Records August 1st. In addition to the release, the band is gearing up for a European tour via Annibale Records this fall.
Lady HD is a classic story of boy meets boy. No one can say for sure when they first met, but we can say with certainty that they did meet one day. Perhaps it was in the bustling markets of Kathmandu as they searched for the perfect blend of silk and rayon to provide the most optimal breathability for their undercarriage. Per chance it was on the dangerous unmarked slopes of the Austrian alps as they charted new ski runs for the boldest and bravest. Maybe they both matched with the same girl on tinder and she accidentally scheduled them to meet her at the same place at the same time. There’s no way to know. But who cares about the beginning of their story. Or the end for that matter (which will either be simultaneous death by spontaneous combustion of cryogenic freezing of their heads). What we do care about is the part of their story they’re currently occupying. As each one respectively hails from their own side of these united states in standard definition, Ciaran writes music from Philly and Dusty produces it in LA. Together, they are Lady HD. Revel in their grungy pop. Please listen responsibly.
Philly dream pope.
On April 22nd, The Classic Hunt unveil The Lyrids EP for online streaming and download.

Recorded by the five-piece "psychedelic-folk-rock-jazz-punk-blues" band based out of Philadelphia, the music of The Classic Hunt can be distilled down to a nebular opposition of tension and release. The group creates a sound that dissolves the line between the states of anxious isolation and ecstatic congregation.

"Are you holding me or are you holding me back?" asks the chorus of the band's darkly hypnotic psych-jam, "Sunflowers for Rye."

That question is central throughout the 4-song EP and underlines the choices, sacrifices, and consequences experienced by those in pursuit a dream - those on the classic hunt. The songs do not shy away from darkness, instead they charge through at full speed, becoming fire in the sky, just like the shooting stars that mark the debut.

The release of The Lyrids EP will coincide with the peak of annual meteor shower of the same name. Appearing in the Constellation Lyra (associated with The Vulture and the Lyre of Orpheus), this celestial light show was first recorded in China as early as 687 BC and would be the perfect visual accompaniment for listening to this music.

A fan of space rocks and space rock, Tyler J. Hayduk, 33, founding member of The Classic Hunt, says the act is one-half synchronicity and one-half act of will:

"This lines up on a many levels for me. The culmination of so much time and energy spent working towards a goal arrives and it's a little bit terrifying. It's also my brother's birthday. He would have been 36 this year. Soon he will have been gone longer than he was here and I'll have spent over half of my life wondering what happened... Heavy, right? But you know, recently I watched Larry King interview this producer, Jack Antonoff, who was talking about losing his sister when they were kids. I realized how important it is to feel able to express loss, to let other people know they aren't alone in trying to deal with it, and to be a reminder that we can grow beyond our constrictions. Music is the only language with which I've felt able to communicate that message."

An active musician in Philadelphia since 2010, Tyler Hayduk has come to be one of those familiar strangers you almost already know. As keyboardist and original member of Rockers Galore, the socially-conscious world/punk/hip-hop act once dubbed "Philly's present day-answer to The Clash" by Philebrity.com, Hayduk lives for the live show, recalling a gig at the TLA, where the group opened for Bear Hands, Killer Mike, and GZA on the 2012 Liquid Swords tour, as a personal highlight.

But, as many keyboard players know, sometimes you just want to play guitar and sing. With a growing repertoire of original material, Hayduk began recording homemade demos, testing new material at open mics around Philly, and performing support sets for other artists such as Rocco Deluca and Deadfellow.

All the while keeping an eye out for the right balance of talents and personality to fully develop the sound, Hayduk says that balance came together in early 2017 through jam sessions with Brendan Burke (guitar), Andrew Haff (guitar), Jude Alvarez (bass), and Aaron Wolf (drums).

The newly devised line-up recorded much of The Lyrids EP on their own with additional tracking with Matt Squires at Drexel University and additional tracking, mixing, and mastering by Carl Bahner at TriForce Pro Audio in Lancaster, PA.

Together the band creates resonant, thought-provoking music featuring electrifying guitar work and acerbic wordplay delivered with tragically hilarious dark humor.
