The Growing Boys, a Chicago-based indie folk band, blend grassroots melodies with lyrics steeped in nostalgia, longing, charisma, through ear catching, timely storytelling. As their narratives unfold and intertwin, we all find ourselves sinking into the realities of life—an existence so tumultuous, so confusing, and so humorously beautiful, it begs to be expressed through longing, heartbreak, and the occasional wink of humor.

It’s hard to believe Poolish only have one EP under their belt when you see them play live. With the chemistry of old friends and the composure of a group well beyond their years, their performances remain underscored by the playful, youthful spirit of a weeknight jam sesh in someone’s attic, basement, or garage. They carry on the well-worn traditions of rock n’ roll with their own midwestern twang and a palpable sense of reverence for acts who’ve come before them. Poolish is a band with great taste; they obviously love what they do, and they do it exceptionally well. [Ella Hardie]
