Louds (3)

Founded by brothers Charlie Brooks and Petie Brooks (guitars / vocals and keyboards, respectively) the band is fleshed out by Juston Stens on drums, Dan Henry (9) on bass and Alejandro Torres-Giraldo on guitar. Their 2015 debut EP If More People Bought Art More People Would Buy Art was solely a studio project of the Brooks brothers that friends were brought in to bring to life onstage; since then, Louds’ studio work has turned into a lively full-band collaboration. Petie describes it as a middle ground between synth-pop and more organic 60s and 70s tinged rock and roll — I hear pieces of aughties faves Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Broken Social Scene, and MGMT, and well as flourishes of New Order and The Feelies.
