Felix Tandem

If you’ve ever thought grunge needs more synths and fewer mopey dudes, Felix Tandem might be the band for you. The Nashville freak-rock trio, consisting of Max Sternlicht (he/they – guitar, vocals), Cole Villena (he/him – bass) and Joel Murray (he/him – drums) combines the big guitar sounds of ’90s rockers with earnest, wacky songwriting.

The songs examine boredom, the attention economy and how we project ourselves to the world — how do you hold someone’s attention, and how do you decide what’s worth paying attention to yourself? Of course, one way to hold attention is to crank up an electric guitar and rock out. Debut single “Shoplifter” shows off the band’s big, hooky riffs and its refusal to take itself too seriously.

On the forthcoming Buyin’ American EP, the band’s goal was to “thoughtfully yeet the sonics of grunge into the 2020s.” They teamed up with producer Tim Craven (DFA1979, Multi Ultra) and

doubled down on heavy guitars but also embraced swirly synths and dramatic, outside-the-box production. Lead single “Oh Julien” earnestly rocks through the lingering trauma of a childhood bully, while “Buyin’ American” riffs on classic rock sounds to skewer American exceptionalism. “Rumors,” meanwhile, explores self-doubt, lingering eyes, and body dysmorphia.

Full Bush

Established in 2017, Philly-based noisy-punk band Full Bush is loud, raw, and unapologetically unpredictable. They write moody songs with dirty, distorted tones, swirling delayed vocals, a bit of silliness and a touch of pop sensibility. Call it tropical doom rock meets a flute stuck in a dishwasher.
