Front woman and guitarist, Rachel Ratner lyrically twists otherwise common day-to-day woes into relatable tales of struggle shout-sung call and response stabs that champion boredom, laziness and social anxieties with wiry riffs and punchy bass lines (brought to you by Matt Nyce), propelled by the measured rhythms of drummer David Ramm.<\/p>\n<p>After gaining local momentum from a self released demo, the band signed with End of Time Records and issued their first LP &#8216;Repeat&#8217; in 2013. They toured nationwide supporting the album, receiving coverage on This American Life, Pitchfork, SPIN and KEXP.
