Edging is a Chicago five-piece that proves good sax and hardcore punk are a match made in basement. Since being on the cover of the Chicago reader they’ve evolved from a wild DIY secret into a polished, high-velocity force. Led by the magnetic screaming and yelping of vocalist Faith Callaway. The band’s sound is defined y searing sax, fuzzy riffs, and a rhythm section that sounds like it’s constantly trying to outrun itself.
Their sophomore album ‘Concrete Cumming’ (April 2024), was recorder live in Philly with Evan Bernard and mastered by Grammy-winner Howie Weinberg-capturing the ‘nervous jitters’ of their legendary live shows where Callaway is known to dive into the crowd, scream in faces, and follow it up with a grin.
Recent high +- profile support for PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS, Upchuck, Die Spritz & Snooper. Consistent sell-outs at DIY spaces and local staples like Sleeping Village. Tours with lambrini Girls, and Amyl and the Sniffers. Described as “wild and fun.” Rotating around a crazy horn player.
SUPPORT:
The Eurosuite formed in London at the tail end of 2019 featuring current and ex members of USA Nails, Plurals, Nitkowski and Mister Lizard. Sharing an ethos of “first idea, best idea” the ‘suite have pinched off three LPs to date, their debut “Hot Off Depress” on A Tant Rêver Du Roi (FR) and more recently “Sorry” and “Totally Fine” on Human Worth (UK). Sitting somewhere between synth punk and no wave, The Eurosuite are a bunch of skeezy treb-o-philes who create a feral ear-splitting sound. They got those dishwasher synths with high pitched scratchy guitars, one handed drumming, and vocals that tell you stories about dilapidation, house plants, mesoAmerican architecture and Frasier. Your christian dad HATES The Eurosuite.
