Empty Country
As the front person of celebrated indie band Cymbals Eat Guitars, guitarist and singer Joseph D’Agostino spent over a decade setting autobiographical, emotionally vivid lyrics against a backdrop of soaring and compositionally ambitious rock. After four critically acclaimed LPs that solidified D’Agostino’s reputation for gifted songwriting, he chose to break from his long term band and debut a new project: Empty Country. D’Agostino’s storytelling lens shifted away from personal narrative and toward fiction; psychopaths, apparitions and deplorables populated a bleak and uncanny parallel version of the American dystopia.
Strange Pains
Ted Bradley (formerly Ted Billings) returns with Strange Pains, a project that weaves the emotional depth of Elliott Smith, the raw grit of The Replacements, and the rich sonic layers of Wilco, creating an immersible indie rock experience. Bradley first captured attention with his 2014 release "Loneliness Is Blue And Not Blue" under the name Philosophical Zombie, garnering acclaim from Brooklyn Vegan for its captivating blend of sludgy and pop-driven sound, and Stereogum for its “melancholy Guided By Voices” essence. With Strange Pains, now residing in Providence, Bradley not only builds on the roots of his previous work but also showcases a bolder, more nuanced expression through dynamic live performances.
Listen to Strange Pains on your favorite streaming service, and join the band on tour as they deliver energetic, soul-stirring performances that linger long after the last note. "The Diamond District" is the new self released record due out early Summer of 2025.
