**HUMID** are a shoegaze band consisting of vocalist-guitarist Matt Tomashek, guitarist Ben Schuelke, bassist Sam Gargulak, and drummer Cody Ratley. It’s essentially Tomashek’s solo project but has evolved into a full band, as he explains.

“It kind of started as a bedroom project with me just writing songs by myself, and then eventually I wanted to turn it into a band. Some people got interested in wanting to play; it’s definitely more of a full band now but I still write all the songs. I wanted a name with some texture and I thought “HUMID” was a cool name for a shoegaze band.”

Some of his biggest influences are Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon), Chino Moreno (Deftones) and Matt Pike (Sleep, High on Fire). Their debut EP “Spun Around” came out in May 2021 and then debut album “One Dimensional Hell” was released exactly a year later. Speaking on “One Dimensional Hell”, Tomashek recalled, “We went into our bassist’s studio and recorded seven songs, and it took about four or five months to get it all tracked and mixed. I’m really, really happy with it. The title kind of came to me per what I was writing about; a lot of the album is about struggling and going it alone, feeling like you’re trapped.”

Tomashek elaborates on his lyrics a bit. “A lot of my songs are about finding out what you want, who you are and what makes you tick,” he shared. “I’m very self-calculated and I try to be metaphoric and secretive.”

**Radiator Girl** is an alternative band hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Since their formation in 2021, Radiator Girl has been combining the styles of shoegaze, post-punk, new wave, indie, and noise rock to create a unique blend of emotional dreaminess and abrasive destruction.
