The names of Spruce Effects’ pedals are inspired by nature, which is fitting. The San Francisco Bay Area company designs fuzz and drive stompboxes that help guitarists create tones that are true to who they are. “We’re not so much interested in creating sounds that are novel and single-dimensional,” write Brian…Click on the title for more

Melkbelly’s Gear and Creative Process

The music of Chicago's noise-rock band Melkbelly incorporates elements of industrial sludge, shoegaze and math-rock to create a burst of deftly controlled chaos. Their 2017 LP “Nothing Valley” features delicious references to the unforgettable Bostonian bands signed by 4AD in the late 80’s/early ‘90s (read Pixies, Throwing Muses, and The…Click on the title for more

Kino Kimino’s Pedals and Sources of Inspiration

Brooklyn darlings Kino Kimino's debut LP "Bait is for Sissies," featuring Sonic Youth Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley serving as session men, will throw you off-guard, just like the band's bizarre, at time nonsensical videos. The brainchild of Kim Talon, the power trio offers deadpan vocals, gritty guitars, and 90's-cool-kid vibes embedded…Click on the title for more

Stuyedeyed talk about Guitar Pedals

Stuyedeyed is an alternative worldview presented through noisy and loud psych-rock, led by Nelson Antonio Espinal's exuberant blues-inflected vocals. Their music is grounded in the punk DIY scene and the NYC garage tradition, and their personal revolt against the disingenuous and the gentrified shines through with each howl of rage. With fuzzy layers…Click on the title for more

Husbandry’s Gear and Creative Process

Brooklyn's post-hardcore/metal quartet Husbandry sounded pretty darn heavy on 2016's debut full length "Fera," but the 2017 EP "Bad Weeds Never Die" takes things to an entirely new level, with metal influences seemingly taking over emo and post-punk ones. Their distorted guitars, in this new record, are a lot more explosive…Click on the title for more

Subdecay Vector – Analog Preamp

Portland's Subdecay got us used to some pretty edgy effects with a "synthy" angle, so we weren't expecting their new release: a pedal dubbed as an "analog premp" called Vector. Scratching beyond the name's surface, you'll find that this digital pedal is actually a lot more than just a preamp, providing eleven…Click on the title for more

The Sofas’ Pedals & Creative Process

This past summer of 2017, Brooklyn's The Sofas released their first single "Hum," which immediately resonated with oddball indie rock lovers and fans of those fuzzadelic records from the '90s bands like Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev were putting out early in their career. The band is about to release their debut full length "Chop Water"…Click on the title for more
