So Pitted - Cloned

Despite posing as a Seattle-based music ensemble, the true origins and motive of So Pitted remain a mystery. Eyewitness accounts and blurry cellphone footage sightings of the band have rapidly increased, putting relevant agencies on high alert. Further documentation of their activities appears in the sophomore album release CLONED, distributed by the underground faction Youth Riot Records on March 8, 2024.

Until this recent warning, some assumed the threat of So Pitted had subsided. Meanwhile, the group toiled in darkness summoning sonic aberrations with the supervision of Tad Doyle, a noted paranormal expert and musician. What emerged are 12 transmissions of post-nuclear visions,  mutant transformations, and existential terror. Unidentified inside sources claim singer Nathan Rodriguez astrally projects into parallel realities to steal unreleased material from other musicians, leaving hints of their origins in song titles. One musicologist exposed to leaked copies of the recording disappeared and has not yet been located.

Thrill-seekers and academics alike have tracked their movements across the country reporting unexplainable phenomena like floating lights, subliminal influence, and what one researcher described as “musical abduction”, emerging from a trance-like state with no sense of time or place. Many attendees observed a member known as Ziam has been seen to either shapeshift or phase in and out of space. Others claim that no such person exists and that one or all band members may be hallucinatory projections. Authorities caution civilians to remain vigilant in monitoring the activities of So Pitted to ensure the safety and security of the public.

Xperience The Weird Heavy Alt Rock Of SO PITTED ‘Cloned’

Seattle’s SO PITTED was described to me as “interesting weird heavy music for outsiders” and yeah, that’s exactly what it is. Their basslines are THICC. Their fuzzy riffs are angry, but in a sad way. There’s an electro element that zaps my brain outta nowhere right when I’m burying it under their dense layers of feedback and percussion. Their new record Cloned comes out on March 8th via Youth Riot Records — pre-order it here. It’s pessimistic and dystopian, which is exactly how I feel when I go to Seattle and see how tech money has given culture its marching orders.

INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE: SO PITTED TALK NEW LP ‘CLONED,’ SHARE VIDEO

From the growing social divisions, political polarization, stratification between rich and poor, and fragmentation that social media and other evils have thrust upon us, everyone can agree that we’re living in a mad, mad, mad, mad world. It’s true in both senses of the word: anger and insanity are at previously unimaginable degrees, and there appears to be no end in sight.


Dad Rock Is Dead, Long Live Mom Punk

Wimps are back! It's been five long years since Seattle's funnest punk band released new music, and The Stranger is very proud to premiere the video for "Mom," the band's first single from their upcoming album, City Lights (out October 13 on Youth Riot Records).

Wimps Heart Seattle”

It’s early July, and Wimps, the Seattle punk trio of more than 10 years’s existence, are running through songs in their Belltown practice space in preparation for a number of summer gigs. These include a set at the revitalized Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival and a “secret” opening spot for the one-night reunion of erstwhile local punk heroes Pony Time. Like Bumbershoot, though not quite as substantially, Wimps predate the current perception of Seattle as a hellscape built with the devil’s tech money.”


Winsome – “Entertain Us – Live Session”

We’re obviously fans of live music, but when a live session catches our ears, you know it’s truly got to be magical. Sacramento indie/emo act Winsome decided to capture some live footage of a new song they’ve been working on by setting up a few cameras in their living room. With plucky guitars lush with reverb, male/female harmonies, and an urgent undercurrent of emotion, “Entertain Us” has us feeling some type of way…

Lolli Morlock Brings the Heat on Debut EP from New Seattle Supergroup Hell Baby

In 2015, the give-no-fucks garage punk of Mommy Long Legs stole the hearts of Seattle underground music fans, many of whom knew every line of the band’s anti-capitalistic anthem, “Assholes” (and even now, Mommy Long Legs’ 2018 song, “Call You Out,” has become a viral hit among twenty-somethings on TikTok).


Rat Queen debuts fresh evolution on new single “Circle the Drain”

Most groups disband when a key member moves away. But that hasn’t been the case for Seattle’ Rat Queen, the alt rock brainchild of songwriting partners and best friends, Jeff Tapia and Daniel Timothy Desrosiers.

Enumclaw Wants to Be Everywhere

ast 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 rave reviews.


Funny Face House Takes Listeners to Fuzz Heaven with New Album, 'Dog In Hell'

'Dog In Hell' by funny Face is an incredibly catchy and fun pop-punk EP that has huge hooks. This solid effort emphasizes a lo-fi immediacy and puts the music directly in your face with unbridled excitement and enthusiasm.

Overlooked album: Alfredo Ghosts || Alfredo Ghosts

Aliens, ghosts, horror and science fiction are popular themes in music. This month there are excellent releases from The Incomprehensible Static (Transmitting Live From The Future) and Lookit, Martians! (Space Boogie) on these themes, and it was pointed out to me that I overlooked Alfredo Ghosts‘ self-titled debut album when it came out late October.
