Editrix & LandownerEDITRIX (Easthampton, MA)
Editrix is a crew of compassionate music nerds expanding on formative time spent in the notably freaky Western Massachusetts DIY scene. The last we heard from the trio of Wendy Eisenberg, drummer Josh Daniel, and bassist Steve Cameron, the Massachusetts-rooted band was serving up gnarly experimental rock that bordered on cartoonish eccentricity. On 2021's 'Tell Me I'm Bad' and 2022's 'Editrix Il: Editrix Goes To Hell', the group unleashed their fangs, resulting in a demonic wall of scuzz-" their output downright whips," NPR says. But for as intense as Editrix sounds, the act is convivial and easygoing - ingrained in deep friendships and speedy, yet jovial recording sessions. Editrix's most pummeling moments seem to be founded on a heartfelt connection. As Editrix prepares to level up, their main goal remains to play with interesting artists who share wonky attitudes towards music. Humility aside, The Big E inches Editrix towards the center of the avant-rock constellation.

LANDOWNER (Holyoke, MA)
The Holyoke, MA band Landowner play tight and nervy post-punk that races along like the bus in Speed (i.e. it cannot go below 50 MPH or it will explode). “Witch Museum,” from their album Escape The Compound, is like Parquet Courts if they were approximately 75% more jittery and unhinged. Or maybe the Feelies meet the Fall? I’m guessing bassist Josh Owsley’s fingers are incredibly strong and limber.
