About

Bio and how they support artists

Founded in 2021 and posting daily for the first year, P&P was created to support artists I admire who don't receive a great deal of press or positive reinforcement from a badly congealed media landscape. Send hooks, please, but rusty & in the ribs. Reverb. Full of heart. Control achieved through willing proximity to its loss. There is a general preference for: lo-fi rock, punk, egg punk, garage rock, post-punk, anti-folk, synth punk, psych/freak folk, devocore, slowcore, no-wave. If accepted, a small tribute of an article will be written composed of a few hundred words attempting to articulate why the material is of value.
