The Long Goodbye and Bittersweet End to The Rogue Bar
by Mitchell Hillman
–

Good Question: Brother Teresa Wants to Make You Dance with ‘Jam Chill Slam’ [interview]
by Jacob Unterreiner
–
Brother Teresa really wants you to dance, but they don’t want to make it easy for you. The band’s acrobatic, boogie-inducing riffs are infectious, but sometimes they come in irregular time signatures; forcing the audience to think before they groove.
The band is fronted by a pair of singer-guitarists in Joe Allie and Salah Moharram, and is rounded out by bassist Bailey Stewart and drummer Dom Crooks. I sat down with the whole confounding crew in order to discuss their evolution as a band and their debut record: Jam Chill Slam…

Danielle Durack: ‘Bashful’ [interview]
by Jacob Unterreiner
–
