Biography

Demolition Stories is an act of destruction in hopes of creation. A band falling apart and coming together. Songs being flipped on their side, poked and prodded until something gorgeous emerges. We are first and foremost a shoegaze band with our feet firmly placed in front of ever-expanding pedal boards. We revel in reverb, distortion and layers of harmony. But there’s also a nod to the distorted rhythmic punk power of band favs like NoMeansNo and FACS, or the angular sounds of Slint and Jawbox. This is a band of music fans, trying to move the story forward. Some get it, some don’t. “...they are so much more than (shoegaze). Nestled somewhere equidistant between The Stone Roses / The Real People, 90s style spatial production and a psyche-rock that always has one foot firmly planted within jangle-pop territories, this is the Seattle based quintet at their absolute finest.” - Janglepophub As we lost and gained members amidst the pandemic, we never stopped moving forward, tearing down and rebuilding both the band and this collection of songs. In doing so, a theme of destruction-is-creation began to emerge from a haze of hummed and fumbled words buried in a harmonic wall of noise. There’s an act of destruction, and creation in each of these songs and hopefully uplift and connection via the music. “Demolition Stories” from six hearts to you. -Owen
