HiddenTrack # 297 DEMMERS (Brian Rothenbeck)

About this episode

This episode features an interview with Brian Rothenbeck of the band DEMMERS, discussing their music and influences.

On this week's episode we welcome Brian Rothenbeck of the explosive "new" new wave-ish band DEMMERS. Demmers is a band born from the shadowy streets of northern New Jersey, where the desire for escape is ever-present, and the landscape itself carries a touch of dark, haunting beauty. Formed in the fall of 2023, Demmers draws from a wide spectrum of musical influences- from the early works of The Cure and The Chameleons to the raw energy of Bloc Party and Chain Cult. Thanks for listenin...
