Hailing from New England, SPOUSE is an indie rock band — in the style of Pixies,
Metronomy, and the Replacements — fronted by lead singer and guitarist José
Ayerve and drummer J.J. O’Connell. The band’s line-up is a revolving one with roots
stretching back to 1993. To date, their catalog features seven full-length albums,
several EPs, singles, compilation tracks, and live recordings. SPOUSE’s recent
activity is one that revolves more around a collaborative writing and recording
process with band members from throughout the group’s decades-long career. Live
performances feature Ayerve in addition to Western Massachusetts-based musicians
J.J. O’Connell, Marc Seedorf, and Ken Maiuri.
The band’s full discography is available at https://spouse.bandcamp.com.
Additionally, several albums and singles are available to stream on various popular
platforms.
BUNNIES music is a foggy, proggy, uniquely psychedelic, eye-opening experience… On one hand, it’s sublimely composed and structurally sound; on the other hand, anything goes and could switch gears at any second when the listeners, and sometimes the band members themselves, least expect it. BUNNIES were formed in Northampton MA somewhere in 2005 when Jeremy Dubs and his best friend Jack Science moved to Northampton MA and found Matt Newman through a craigslist ad. In 2008, BUNNIES recorded their debut album with Mission Of Burma’s Roger Miller as producer, called “Music For Dinosaurs By Dinosaurs”. It was followed by two more albums: “Devoted To The Process Of Action” in 2013 released on Charles Thompsons The Bureau Records, and “Transportation To Mind Transformation” in 2018 released on Russian Label RAIG Records. Currently featuring Jeremy Macomber-Dubs (vocals, guitar), Jack Science (vocals, synths, keys), Matthew Newman (drums, backing vocals), and Rebecca Macomber-Dubs (bass, backing vocals), BUNNIES are a tight unit creating adventurous and eclectic Experimental Rock with influences from a broad spectrum of Psychedelia, Avant-Prog, sci-fi Space, Kraut, and Weirdo Cinematic music. Over the past 17 years BUNNIES have toured extensively and played with a wide range of the top indie/weirdo/noise/prog/psych bands.
