Built to Spill is touring behind their 2022 Sub Pop debut, Where The Wind Forgets Your Name, which All Music called “a late-career stunner that easily equals their best work (4/5).” In September 2024, the band supported There’s Nothing Wrong with Love, their classic second full-length album, with a massive tour for its 30th anniversary (initially released by the Pacific Northwest indie label Up Records on September 13th, 1994). 

Built to Spill’s current lineup is comprised of founder band Doug Martsch, bassist Melanie Radford, and drummer Teresa Esguerra. Built to Spill’s When The Wind Forgets Your Name, and There’s Nothing Wrong With Love, are now available from Sub Pop.

Yo La Tengo are Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew. For nearly thirty years the trio have enjoyed success entirely on their own terms – playing the world’s best concert halls, museums, and dives, dominating critics’ lists, and sharing stages with some of the most important musicians of our time. In 2023, the group released its critically acclaimed sixteenth album, This Stupid World, which the New York Times dubbed “A timeless, quietly poignant distillation of the band’s singular essence” and Stereogum praised as “Another staggering collection of music.”
