Once declared “the best band in America” by a heavily inebriated gentleman at a pub gig, Sapling is New England’s premier bitchpop and art rock band. Their live show has drawn comparisons to Sleater-Kinney, Roxy Music, and Swans, surely due to their signature blending of pop hooks and confetti with spooky chaos and precariously complex signal chains. Sapling
have delighted and confused audiences equally at intimate basement shows and larger venues such as The Sinclair (Cambridge, MA) and Higher Ground (Burlington, VT).
Tysk Tysk Task is an indie grunge band from Lowell, Mass. with thrashing drums and heavily distorted guitars in the style of The Melvins and PJ Harvey, featuring the melancholic yet powerful vocals of front woman Samantha Hartsel. The band will play Boston Calling this year, opening on Sunday, May 26 for The Killers and Hozier.
Ex-Temper creates pivoting, unpredictable, guitar-driven rock layered with catchy melodies and three-part vocal harmonies. Once described as "Fugazi meets the Andrews Sisters”
and credited with playing "heavy, head-banging riffs,” their lyrics explore everything from heartbreak and obsession, to prominent social issues like police brutality, mass shootings,
the inefficiency of white guilt, and mansplaining; as well as mysteries like the Green Children of Woolpit, and existential questions such as if an organ donor’s consciousness or
memories can be transplanted into the recipient’s mind. The band formed in 2015, when Kaliis Smith, Kate Dowd, and Lynn Simonds, who knew each other from playing in the Northampton, MA music
scene with other bands, sought each other out with the intention of starting an all-female rock band that specialized in being kick-ass while maintaining steadfast musicality.
The Iron Horse is located at 20 Center Street, Northampton MA, 01060
