Enumclaw - Jimbo Demo
Enumclaw - Jimbo Demo
“Tacoma, Washington’s Enumclaw bill themselves as ‘The Best Band Since Oasis,’ but they’re self-released and, thanks to COVID, have never had a chance to play a live show…Blown-out guitars and languid beats conjure a sort of dingy, Pacific Northwest shoegaze.” - Marc Hogan, Pitchfork
“Last year was a banner year for Tacoma-based rock band Enumclaw.
After dropping their first single "Fast N All" in early 2021, the band blew up, nabbing features in the Seattle Times, KEXP, Pitchfork, and The Fader before playing any public live shows. In April, they dropped their debut EP Jimbo Demo to rare reviews. And just last week, Enumclaw announced Luminelle Recordings signed them. Things are only looking up for the grungy four-piece…
Citing bands like Nirvana, Radiohead, Mötley Crüe, Drake, and Weird Al Yankovic as influences, Enumclaw's sound is a mashup of shoegaze, post-grunge, and emo. The mix is a kind of ironic evocation of the music that made the Pacific Northwest so popular in the '90s. There's an angst inherent to the band's distorted guitar and disaffected, flat singing, with lyrics earnest enough to make you want to sing along—like when Johnson speak-sings with his characteristically brash vulnerability, "Remember when we were kids/ How did it end up like this/Those are the days that I miss" on Jimbo Demo album opener ‘Cents’.” - Jas Keimig, The Stranger

Titanic 2 is set to take over the world with their debut full-length album, Cruise Control. Fronted by teen heartthrob Spencer Johndrew (the cute one), with Khyre Matthews on bass (the shy one), and Zeke Bender (the bad boy), the band is poised to rise to the top. Watch out, Anthony Kiedis!
Cruise Control expands on the sound that they so desperately tried to cultivate on their EP, Judgment Day. While maintaining post-punk energy, the band incorporates genres into their style such as pop-punk, country, classic rock, and reggae. The album has been overall described as “pretty good”.
