#1 Album Of The Year - MAGNET Magazine “The album is an unabashed, bombastic and unapologetic statement of purpose from one of America’s greatest living songwriters." - Paste Magazine - Album of the Week “GBV’s hot streak continues with one of their best albums in ages."  - Brooklyn Vegan - Album of the Week Listen to Nowhere To Go But Up:   https://lnkfi.re/nowheretogobutup In 1994, 38-year-old school teacher Robert Pollard & his merry band recorded Bee Thousand in a Dayton, Ohio, basement on a 4-track cassette recorder. This improbable rock classic became an enormously influential album: Pitchfork and Spin have called it one of the best records of the ’90s, and Amazon picked Bee Thousand as #1 on their list of the 100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums Of All Time. A legendary live band with a rabid following, the Washington Post called GBV “the Grateful Dead equivalent for people who like Miller Lite instead of acid!”  With 14 studio albums already under their belts in 6 years, the band’s present-day line-up is nothing less than a new Golden Age of GBV.

Formed by brothers Evan and Quinn Seurkamp, southeastern Ohio band The Laughing Chimes calls on the bright jangle of multiple generations of college rock and indie pop for their sweetly melodic tunes. Echoes of the best of the Flying Nun roster met with R.E.M.-informed vocal harmonies on their 2021 album In This Town, and the band began working with Slumberland for the release of their 2022 EP Zoo Avenue. The band’s latest material sees them adopting darker post punk sounds to bloom a new vein of southern gothic infused dream pop.
