They’re from Philadelphia. They recently signed to Father Daughter Records, and all of them are still in high school. I think the lead singer just graduated, which is so weird to me because the lyrics are so mature. The way that that [singer Ava Trilling] expresses her experiences are so huge within themselves. Their debut EP was a lo-fi delight, but live shows are becoming polished and unmissable experiences  grungy alt rock from New Jersey

It’s very impressive that she can connect to a listener that way. Her voice is very captivating, it sounds like it’s just always on the point of breaking.

Guitars – Ben Guterl

‘Slop’ EP out November 11th on Father/Daughter (US) and House Anxiety / Marathon Artists (UK)

I think the lead singer just graduated, which is so weird to me because the lyrics are so mature. The way that that [singer Ava Trilling] expresses her experiences are so huge within themselves. Because, you know, young people know what love is, too. It’s very impressive that she can connect to a listener that way. Her voice is very captivating, it sounds like it’s just always on the point of breaking. Crying, kind of.

“Cadmium” by Pinegrove from the CD/LP/Tape/Digital “Cardinal” available on Run For Cover Records released February 12th,2016. Pinegrove leader Evan Stephens Hall hinted at songwriting genius with earlier recordings, but Cardinal is a revelation of tunes not reliant on predictable song structure. The record sounds like the unveiling of a band out to make a career — sturdy melodies, lyrical depth, and a general sense of ease.a childhood band turns into a grown-up band, with life-long friends finding their footing with tunes equally comfortable in the alt-country and emo scenes. For the eight songs that sound like a modernized, Americana-informed mixture of American Football, Something to Write Home About-era Get Up Kids and Stay What You Are-era Saves the Day, we hear the stress, loneliness and reconciling adulthood with what we thought adulthood would be dealt with more honestly and directly than normal, each song containing a line or two that plainly summarize a myriad of feelings in just a few words. Life is full of ups and downs, fuck-ups and reconciliations, and at the end of the day Pinegrove wants us to know it’s all (probably) going to be okay. The band originate from Montclair, New Jersey.

Pinegroves Evan Stephens Hall performs on Audiotree Live, April 30, 2016.

Pinegrove began in January 2010 with the release of their first EP titled Mixtape One. The members had met and bonded through “Terry’s Serendipity Cafe”, a monthly music show planned by Montclair students nights in New Jersey. Pinegrove is the Brooklyn based project of Nandi Plunkett, Evan Hall, and brothers Zack and Nick Levine. The latter three of the group all grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, but it wasn’t until Hall met Plunkett at Kenyon College that the music of Pinegrove began to develop.

After relocating back to Montclair and then on to Brooklyn the group created Meridian, their debut album. They released their second EP in July 2013 titled &. In June of 2014, Pinegrove released their third EP, titled Mixtape Two.Pinegrove has created a sound all their own, highlighted by syncopated guitar lines, driving percussion, and delectable harmonies from Plunkett and Hall. Take a listen to “The Metronome” below and make sure to pick up your copy of Meridian through the groups Bandcamp page. In early 2015, Pinegrove released a compilation cassette titled Everything So Far. In October 2015, Pinegrove signed to Run for Cover Records. After signing to the label, they re-issued their compilation cassette, adding two new songs called “New Friends” and “Angelina”.

FORTH WANDERERS – ” Selfish “

This group of Montclair, New Jersey kids (all of whom were teens when they released their placid debut full-length “Tough Love” at the tail end of last year) have a knack for nailing the misty-eyed mysticism of Built to Spill’s early LPs. No wonder Lorde shouted them out even before they released that debut.

Why They’re Not Higher: They’re in school and even a year ago they were hinting at the end of their band, so they could just as easily break up as release another heartbreaking record.

FORTH WANDERERS – ” Know Better “

Forth Wanderers are five, very young and very talented friends from Montclair in New Jersey. also the home of the band Pinegrove, Formed initially because the bands main songwriter Ben Guterl had a crush on singer Ava Trilling and sent her a demo tape to try and impress her , thankfully the music is better than the flirting. The band are set to release their debut EP next month, and this week shared the latest track from it, Know Better.

Vocalist Ava Trilling refuses to take her own advice, singing “I need to feel loved, no, I need to be tough, no, I need to grow up”. ‘Know Better‘ sets the tone for the rest of the EP, which we know you’re sure to love.

Following hot on the heels of the EP’s excellent title track, Slop, Know Better is arguably even the better track. Know Better tells a tale of learning from your mistakes and becoming a better person, the chiming chorus repeatedly noting, “I can’t be this naive anymore.” The track flows into a bruising outro of chiming guitars and muscular drum hits, Ava concluding, “I need to grow up.” Early days but for a band now even all out of their teenage years,

Slop EP is out November 11th via Father/Daughter Records .
