Joining us from the US.
Colatura makes music that lives in the in-between: sometimes dreamy, sometimes heavy, and laced with fuzzy guitars, undeniable hooks, and raw storytelling. Long a fixture in the Brooklyn scene, the band relocated to Pittsburgh in 2024 and now splits their time between both cities.
Colatura’s upcoming EP If I’m Being Honest comes out August 1st via Easy Does It Records. Produced by Nixon Boyd (Hollerado, Dizzy), the EP plays like a series of late-night confessionals - introspective, nostalgic, aching, and ultimately cathartic. It marks a new chapter for the band, expanding on the melodic, dreamy indie rock of their 2022 debut LP And Then I’ll Be Happy and their 2024 A/B side Do You Miss Her / Suffer Dude, which was produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma, Kills Birds, Been Stellar).
Colatura’s music has earned praise from outlets like FLOOD, Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, Austin Town Hall, and Atwood Magazine, and landed spots on Spotify’s All New Rock and regular radio rotation at stations like KEXP and WYEP, where they also performed a live set this past February. Described live as “like sunshine streaming out of an amp with the volume set at nine,” Colatura has shared a stage with bands such as Slow Pulp, Mamalarky, Nation of Language, Toledo, Pom Pom Squad, Jessica Lea Mayfield, and will be supporting Blondshell in Pittsburgh this November.
With performances at SXSW, Capitol Hill Block Party, NXNE, and New Colossus under their belt, as well as an upcoming appearance at WYEP’s Summer Music Festival, Colatura is carving out their place in the indie rock landscape. Following the EP, the band will hit the road for US and European tours later this year.
Edward Molby were born into the mid 1990's West Yorkshire music scene and fronted by local hero Andy Greaves who had enjoyed success with Halifax's John Peel Show favourites Chinese Gangster Element in the previous decade. Their joyful energy and captivating stage presence testifies to their punk and hard rock roots and remains undimmed – indeed better than ever. Molby are now recording again but gigs are all the more gloriously intense for their relative infrequency. Miss this one not.
