Speedy Ortiz

Since the last time Speedy Ortiz dropped by our studio, the band has played countless shows all around the country and landed on the radar of the music scene at large. That same charming, lo-fi grunge sound that made them endearing early on still applies, but now the pairing of Sadie Dupuis’ melodies with satisfying fuzz comes on like a confident juggernaut — not that there was any lack of confidence before. If you’re like us and have a serious soft spot for the likes of 90s greats such as Helium, Pavement, and Mazzy Star, Speedy Ortiz should already be your new favorite band.

Featured song: “Hitch”
