Enumclaw are hittin the pavement on their Do It For The Music tour this spring, playing a mix of DIY and bigger spaces. It’s Washington state vs. Oasis in Enumclaw – 2020’s indie gaze rock meets 00s brit pop ennui with some killer hooks to match.

“Tacoma, Washington’s Enumclaw bill themselves as “The Best Band Since Oasis,” but they’re self-released and, thanks to COVID, have never had a chance to play a live show. “Fast N All,” their first single, boils that mix—snotty ambition and lack of shits given—down to a swooning, bittersweet noise-rock anthem, “Champagne Supernova” by way of No Age. Aramis, the vocalist, is a co-founder of one of the Puget Sound area’s most renowned rap parties, and he sings with the casual deliberateness of a connoisseur who knows how Playboi Carti can steal a song by repeating just one word. Blown-out guitars and languid beats conjure a sort of dingy, Pacific Northwest shoegaze.”
