NICK REINHART ANNOUNCES NEW PROJECT DISHEVELED CUSS
Nick Reinhart, guitarist, and singer of cult favorites Tera Melos / and a frequent musical contributor to Death Grips and Portugal.The Man has a new band he’s calling Disheveled Cuss. A departure from the innovative and very technical/ambient compositions he’s known for, Disheveled Cuss lives somewhere in-between early Weezer and Teenage Fanclub with a heavy 90’s indie rock influence. Reinhart explains: playing music like this is satisfying in a very different way than what I’m used to. There’s no tearing open sonic portals like Tera Melos or primal aggression like Death Grips or stream of consciousness shredding like improvising in a jazz quartet- it’s a rock band playing “normal” songs and in many ways, that’s the least normal thing I’ve done. Listen to the first song from the band “Wanna Be My Friend” up top.

Two Hearted Rounder the new album from Sarah Lee Langford, is on a precipice. More specifically: A barstool – a place where life is messy, but the whiskey is neat.
