Typesetter Nothing Blues

Formed in 2012 by longtime friends, Marc Bannes (vocals, guitar), Alex Palermo (bass, vocals), and Kyle McDonald (guitar, vocals), Typesetter quickly became regulars on the DIY touring circuit and began building a catalog of tuneful, yet gritty songs over multiple EPs and their 2014 debut full-length, Wild's End. As the band's lineup evolved, so did their sound, and with the additions of Sarah Bogosh
(keyboards, trumpet, vocals) and Matt Gonzalez (drums), a colorful new wash of atmosphere and dynamics began to saturate the band's anthemic punk. On Nothing
Blues, Typesetter dive headfirst into this new territory, with Palermo and Gonzalez providing the driving rhythmic backbone for Bannes and McDonalds' walls of shimmering reverb and distortion, while Bogosh's synths add a dreamy flourish rarely heard in tandem with the directness of punk. This eclectic mix of tones and textures_even a bit of trumpet_could be a recipe for sensory overload, but the band deftly makes room for ambitious arrangements while maintaining the unbridled momentum at their core. · Digital download included · Pressed on yellow vinyl · "Technicolor" featuring guest vocals by Lydia Loveless For fans of The Hold Steady | Against Me! | Jets To Brazil
