YOUNG WIDOWS
The sounds, songs, and passages within Power Sucker are the very reason that Young Widows are still a band after an 11-year creative pause; they remain masters at making music with equal parts sonic and emotional weight. Young Widows have inspired scores of underground artists across the globe with their unique collage of noise-rock, hardcore, and post-punk and pioneering presentation. The Young Widows sound – or more accurately, the Young Widows feel – is in full battering ram motion on their fifth studio album. The heaviness of Power Sucker isn’t mysterious. The Louisville, Kentucky power trio play their individual parts with such recognizable precision and style that once entwined together each completed piece becomes an integral part of the puzzle. The sizzling guitars, growling bass, and lock-tight drums rip through the pavement that Young Widows had previously laid to allow the most forward-moving vocal arrangements of their now two-decade career. Historical accomplishments aside, Power Sucker has the shock and wonder of a new band’s debut album. After all, this is the regrouping of three passionate lifers once again sharing their undying love for the art of sound. No one and no thing can take those powers away.
LACEY GUTHRIE
Born and raised in small town Indiana and steeped in the eclectic music culture of Louisville, KY. Lacey Guthrie’s powerful voice first grabbed listeners as the singer of dream pop heavies Twin Limb, though music fans will have heard many of her collaborations, alongside artists like Wax Fang and Murder By Death. Late 2021 saw her culmination as a true solo artist, with the release of The King of Holding Onto Things, written and performed entirely by Guthrie.
WAILIN STORMS
Originally formed in the unrelenting heat of Corpus Christi, Texas, WAILIN STORMS migrated east and ended up in Durham, North Carolina. Their sound is justly a mix of doom-punk and swampy rock, as elements of their prior and current surroundings culminate into a unique and volatile brew. Stamped with eerily dark and ominous vocal elements reminiscent of bluesy masters like Howlin’ Wolf and Samhain with emotive nods to Destruction Unit, Bauhaus, and Jesus Lizard, the band’s output is incessantly passionate and harrowing in its entirety.
