Thirsty Curses

Thirsty Curses is a rock n’ roll outfit based out of Raleigh, NC. The band was formed by singer-songwriter Wilson Getchell (vocals, guitar, piano) in late 2016 and features Kelley Otwell on lead guitar, Phil Harrington on drums, and Clayton Herring on bass. Thirsty Curses' material draws from numerous genres including punk, folk, country, pop rock, and grunge and explores lyrical themes ranging from the existential to the absurd. Thirsty Curses' music strikes a balance between exuberance and despair, and the band's live shows are energetic, entertaining affairs. Put simply, Thirsty Curses is a good fucking time.

As YES! Weekly put it in a write up on the band, "Thirsty Curses make rock’n’roll, with a boisterous beer-swilling edge to it. Many of these songs are about living it up while things fall apart at the seams, or at least trying to find some glory in chaos and meaninglessness. You might hear a connection to the Replacements, the Hold Steady, the Dropkick Murphys, and other rowdy rockers."

Faye

Faye is a project started by Charlotte, NC musicians Susan Plante (guitar/vocals) and Sarah Blumenthal (bass/vocals). The diversity of influence is apparent in their songwriting, but it finds a happy medium in the fuzzed out 90’s rock sound that calls to mind the likes of The Breeders and Sleater-Kinney. Plante’s inclination towards dissonance, almost always challenged by Blumenthal’s straight-forward and poppy bass lines, creates an intentional contortion and lends to the band’s unique sound. With the addition of Erik Berns (drums), the trio has cemented a textured and discordant sound with layers of meandering guitar and soul scraping bass tones that you can feel deep in the pit of your chest.
