Austin based art punk feat. members of Borzoi, Porcelain, and New Strangers + Chicago jazz Mahjong Crib

Variety - https://varietyband.bandcamp.com/track/plover

Starting as a recording project of Rhys Woodruff, variety is an “arty punk, deranged alternative-rock” band from Austin, Texas (Post-Trash, 2024). Whether referencing drought-effected springs or the loss of a family member, variety’s lyrics address motifs of nature and the fluctuating decay and loss each human experiences. Musically, they’re reminiscent of bands like Deerhoof and Women, with a punkier edge. The live act features members from Borzoi, Porcelain, and New Strangers.
