DEAD BEST
Long time friends Adam Goren and Brian Sokel followed interwoven paths through the Philadelphia punk scene in the 90’s and early 2000s. While Sokel brought riffs to the dub and hardcore blending Franklin and was the primary songwriter and multi-instrumentalist for AM/FM, releasing a number of albums on Polyvinyl Records, Goren was playing in punk bands Fracture and Armalite, and exploring the use of sequencers in his eccentric solo project Atom and His Package. Though the two had been close since childhood and shared space in the scene, their collaborative work was limited to a few minor instrumental appearances on each other’s projects.
Dead Best's music is equal parts melody and blazing aggression. It is a raw expression of two punk veterans exhuming deep anxieties through pummeling guitars and frantic vocals Dead Best is a clear profile of Goren and Sokel’s combined creative voice.
WELL WISHER
That Weight, the latest album from New Jersey group Well Wisher, is a fiery burst of catchy, feverish punk rock that addresses the heaviness of personal trauma without being suffocated by its gravity. It is a confluence of the group’s uncentered rock influences including The Breeders and Built to Spill, in addition to songwriter Natalie Newbold’s somber acoustic favorites such as Elliott Smith and Phoebe Brigders. As the record progresses, the jumpy, visceral instrumentation emphasizes the tender introspections that Newbold’s writing weaves into these songs. The result is something both cathartic and therapeutic; art that will make you want to thrash and jump around with tears of acceptance and future growth.
Originally started as a solo project for NJ songwriter Natalie Newbold (current bassist in The Front Bottoms), Well Wisher has taken shape as a full band with Lucas Dalakian (formerly of Romp), Lynsey Vandenberg, and Matt Viani. Since the band’s inception in 2018 they have shared the stage with notable acts like Manchester Orchestra, The Front Bottoms, New Found Glory, Bayside, Lucy Dacus, Deerhunter, Laura Stevenson and many, many more. Well Wisher’s long-awaited sophomore record, That Weight, is out now via Egghunt Records!
