Q&As/SF Local Bands

Q&A: Hēran Soun

How would describe your music? The reason why I made this music alone was purely due to my failure at being able to describe my music. I failed with the musicians I loved playing with. I failed to articulate how they could get the noises out that would make the music. That’s the same way… Keep Reading

Q&A: Greater Sirens

How did you come up with the name of the band? We actually started the band under a different name, Younger Dryas, which was a historic climate event Greg had been learning about in a geography class at the time.

Local Band Spotlight: Great Highway

How did you come up with the name of the band? We wanted a name that had energy and intensity to it, and that would also immediately place us as a San Francisco band. Back in the day, when we were first starting out, we would write songs at a friend’s house at 48th &… Keep Reading
