SHONDES - MY DEAR ONE (LP)

The Shondes My Dear One On Vinyl LP

The Shondes are a rock band based in Brooklyn and best known for potent political anthems and heartbreaking violin hooks. The foursome brings the sound and spirit of riot grrrl to its unique brand of Jewish-inflected music with an explosive and emotional live show that often moves audiences to tears. The Shondes approach each moment on stage with limitless joy and ferocious passion, and offstage, band members Louisa Solomon (bass/vocals), Elijah Oberm(violin/vocals), Fureigh (guitar), and Temim Fruchter (drums) are outspoken and visible in their communities regarding issues of sexuality, gender and religion.

No matter how strong activist rock musicians are in public, all bets are off when it comes to matters of the heart. The Shondes had a rough year following the release of their debut album in 2008. At the end of a successful nationwide tour, the band faced the sudden departure of their guitarist, a devastating professional and personal breakup for Solomon. The remaining members of The Shondes sought comfort and healing in one another and in their craft by spending days and nights writing songs to get them through the experience. The resulting collection, My Dear One, is an album for all survivors of broken hearts.
