PALM GHOSTS
Facebook | Bandcamp
Palm Ghosts is the sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN. That is the sound and spirit of Palm Ghosts, as far from the honky-tonks and pedal taverns of their adopted city as one can get. More at home in rainy Manchester or blustery Berlin, the quartet weaves early cinematic dream pop and new wave with brooding post punk. Palm Ghosts has a long history, as Joe has carried the name since his Philly days when the project had an indie folk sound. But, it is the current iteration of the band that sounds more like a clap back to the sound for which Nashville is notorious. Embracing their 80’s idols, like New Order, The Cure, David Bowie, John Carpenter and even Divine, these Nashville transplants released 2018’s Architecture. With a steady stream of singles and EPs, the band has continued to write music that sums up the lot of their 80’s youth, but their most cohesive effort is now.
MARK WALDOCH + THE HALLELUJAH WARD
Facebook | YouTube
MARK WALDOCH GOES WAY BACK WITH THE MILWAUKEE MUSIC SCENE, GAINING NOTORIETY FOR HIS EARNEST AND EMOTIVE STYLE, DRAWING COMPARISONS TO THE LIKES OF LAUDED INDIE BANDS SUCH AS THE WEDDING PRESENT. WALDOCH HAS RECENTLY RELEASED MATERIAL WITH HIS NEW CREW, THE HALLELUJAH WARD, FEATURING DAN DIDIER AND JAMES SAUER. THE SOUNDS OF THE HALLELUJAH WARD STILL TILTS TOWARDS STRAIGHT-UP POP MUSIC AND GIVES IT SOME EXTRA OOMPH WITH ELECTRONIC EMBELLISHMENTS, KEYS AND HORNS. THE BAND MOST-RECENTLY RELEASED THE SINGLE, “86,000 (YOU WILL KNOW)” WITH AN ACCOMPANYING VIDEO THAT IS BOTH HEARTFELT AND TRIPPY.
