AlterModerns

Altermoderns is the Brazilian duo Ananda Kuhn (drums) and Glauco Caruso (guitar) who are currently based in Bristol, who play a raw, rough, and stripped down form of garage rock that has one foot in old school rock'n roll, and another in the earlier phases of punk. It is energetic and lively music that feels lo-fi. The duo plays locked in and with a clear sense of how to navigate the field without getting caught up in a frenetic pace. Caruso does quite a bit of heavy lifting on his guitar as he handles rhythm and lead functions without skipping a beat, while Kuhn plays standing up, Mo Tucker style. Their songs also tend to have a sometimes overt political layer to them, with vocals delivered in a punk affectation and a touch of crowd singing effect.
