Shadwell:
Based out of Boston, Shadwell’s sound falls somewhere between contemporary Brit-rock and straight-ahead American rock. Its recently released first full-length album, Clarity (produced and engineered by Ducky Carlisle), has received local corporate airplay and college radio spins across the country as well as been licensed to TV networks including MTV, E!, and Oxygen.
Along with continuous club gigs throughout the northeast – from Boston’s The Middle East and Paradise Rock Club to New York’s Piano’s and Arlene’s Grocery – the band has been selected to play at high-profile music festivals including South By Southwest and the WXKS-FM Kiss Concert. Among other recent accomplishments, Shadwell was named winner of Boston Music Spotlight’s 2009 Battle of the Bands and selected as one of their “Top 10 Local Bands to Watch in 2010.” For more information, go to: http://www.shadwellmusic.com/
Winterpills:
Are an indie rock band from Northampton, Massachusetts, United States. Its members are Philip Price, Flora Reed, Dave Hower, Dennis Crommett and Brian Akey. They are also joined on tour sometimes by José Ayerve and Henning Ohlenbusch. They released their debut eponymous album in November 2005 on Signature Sounds, and their second album on the same label was released February 27, 2007, titled "The Light Divides". Their third album, "Central Chambers", was released on October 14, 2008, also on Signature Sounds, and a vinyl 7" single of Broken Arm/A Folded Cloth was released in the UK on February 4, 2009 on Riot Act Records. "Central Chambers" was also released on vinyl on January 13, 2009. A 6-song EP, "Tuxedo of Ashes", was released on October 5, 2010.
The band formed in the winter of 2003-2004 and began playing out regionally (New England) in the spring of 2004. Playing the melancholy songs of Philip Price, the band's characteristic sound is a combination of fragile and melancholy acoustic folk-pop, with vital male-female harmonies (Price and Reed), filled out with the distinctive edginess of Crommett's washy-watercolor electric guitar and Hower's tense drumming.
Their albums have received high praise by the New York Times, Washington Post, No Depression, The Utne Reader, USA Today, Paste Magazine, Mojo, The Village Voice, and the Boston Globe, among others. They have shared the stage with such notable artists as Grant-Lee Phillips, Vampire Weekend, St. Vincent, Cake, Lisa Germano, Juana Molina, Ladybug Transistor, The Mountain Goats, Crowded House, Erin McKeown, Fountains of Wayne, Alejandro Escovedo, Rainer Maria, Martha Wainwright, Josh Ritter among others. While touring extensively the band played Mountain Stage on NPR, and were featured on NPR's Weekend Edition and World Café, and XM Radio's Loft Sessions.
