Dischord records - S/D.

Light Beams - C/D?

Eh , they’re ok. I like that they are trying to make their postpunk fresh, but nonetheless doesn’t always wow me

Yeah I was fine with their records but their live show was really great!

That's true

LISTEN TO NEW SONG "BALLAD OF TOKITAE"
https://bedmakerdc.bandcamp.com/track/ballad-of-tokitae(can also pre-order there)

Bed Maker's origins date back to summer 2019, when bassist Arthur Noll (Light Beams, Kid
Congo Powers) and drummer Vin Novara (The Crownhate Ruin, 1.6 Band), each having played
in Alarms & Controls, invited guitarist Jeff Barsky (Insect Factory, Time Is Fire) to collaborate
and see what might happen. By autumn, they invited Amanda MacKaye (Desiderata,
Routineers) to join them, and the chemistry was immediate. In February 2020 at DC's Rhizome,
Bed Maker played their first show and then paused their activities the following month, as did
most people.

Due to the state of the world in 2020 and 2021, they continued writing music through sharing
recordings. Mike Schleibaum assisted by assembling home recordings of their individual parts
into working demos. This allowed them to keep momentum, and by the time in-person
rehearsals resumed, a handful of songs and new ideas were close to fruition. Bed Maker
resumed playing shows in November 2022.

Following a self-released digital single ("Miss Dickens") and an EP (Three on the Tree) -- each
recorded with Schleibaum and Matt Michel at Viva Studios -- Bed Maker began work on their
self-titled LP in May 2023 with Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at the original Inner Ear Studio in
his basement in Arlington, VA, and with Mike Schleibaum at his home studio in Maryland.
That their debut LP even exists is only possible thanks to the support of family and many
friends, and also serves as an act of defiance to the horrors of the last four-plus years.

that song rips

it's a bummer that the two shows listed are at a brewery in the suburbs with no events listed on their site and a matinee show at a vegan pizza place

Per their Instagram they’re just doing those 2 Chicago gigs which are make up ones for 2 that got cancelled earlier by winter weather
