Death by Stars
Moody,
atmospheric, electro-rock.
Sun Thieves
Classic Seattle
fuzzed-out mid-tempo punk rawk.
The Balloon Power Challenge/I Like
Science
Well composed pop
synth, helmed by the multi-talented Peter Tietjen.
Manatee Commune
Instrumental,
lushly layered, chill music.
Tummler and Solomon
Heavy, droning,
and sludgy; creates mood and atmosphere through its insistence and
tone.
Wheelies
Local Tacoma
favorites—good songwriting and good sing-alongs.
The Estafets
Modern rock and
roll with some '80s metal tropes thrown in for good measure.
The Bismarck
Loud but nicely
constructed, creative rock and roll.
Minutes
Recently signed to
discord—one of the best bands you'll hear this year, I swear.
Jesus on the Moon
My band (shameless
self-promotion)
J. Martin
Delicate, smartly
constructed acoustic-driven indie music.
Boreal
One-man recording
and live project—dark, ambient, funereal drone; the “Satanic
Brian Eno.”
Mudslug
Great songwriting
and catchy melodies, slowed down to a sludgy, inexorable crawl and
tempered by wildly creative experimentation.
Stiff Spirit
Balls to the wall
Seattle rock 'n roll with a voice that could saw through bone.
People under the Sun
Excellent local
synth pop with the occasional dash of psychedelia.
Kramer
The quintessential
Tacoma punk band.
Boring People
Kalamazoo melodic
indie music to the tune of Pavement, Built to Spill, Archers of Loaf,
etc.
Eerie, ethereal,
angular, swelling music.
Watermelon Sugar
Another great
Swoon Records release.
Crash City Saints
Kalamazoo
shoegaze. Listen with your headphones turned all the way up!
Nightgowns
Once the biggest
underground band in Tacoma, now defunct, but still relevant
