I'm on a comp that comes out in one week from @iheartnoise.bsky.social : iheartnoise.bandcamp.com/album/2025-s... It's an acoustic version of "What? Right Here? In Broad Daylight?" featuring Rainy from @saplingband.com .

ICYMI 5-track preview of our upcoming digital sampler! Feat. @thisshipargo.bsky.social @themodernfolk.bandcamp.com @onthehonches.bsky.social @maiovvi.bsky.social and @nicholasburgess.bsky.social / Rainy Maple Sugar Candy-Spaghetti (@saplingband.com) iheartnoise.bandcamp.com/album/2025-s...

We dropped a new single today and 100% of proceeds will go to food banks/pantries in southern New England. #newmusic #emergencyfood #grunge #dropdeadfred saplingband.bandcamp.com/album/drop-d...

Halloween Hangover matinee in Worcester on Saturday 11/1.

Always good to do a round or two of this question when we have something fun coming soon. What radio programs, web shows, music blogs, or podcasts should we send new music to? Help grow our list! #radio #podcast #newmusic #independentmusic #collegeradio #musicblog #musicjournalism

@criticallistening.bsky.social @lizpelly.bsky.social @peretsky.bsky.social Our song Bitchshifter was inspired by the Cloudification of music and Spotify's reign of bullshit. Also just lunatic billionaires in general. Thought you might enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sRE...

Come see the show! @miraclebloodmusic.bsky.social and @saplingband.com and @thefreqs.bsky.social will be playing loud rock. I will be playing quiet little spooky tunes.

New single is out with four different mixes of "I Want You," my 90s cover with Rainy from @saplingband.com Listen wherever, but on bandcamp the new remixes have already been added to Re-Animator as bonus tracks. You may already own them!

Hey folks! We forgot we had Bluesky. Sorry about that. Here's what's up: 1. Exciting show 11/1 to announce soon. Yay! 2. We're making a music video and you can be in it but there's less than a week left to submit a clip. More info on that below. 3. Recording a fun cover sooooon.

Big ups to @joe-pater.bsky.social for introducing Rainy to Gang of Four in college. We pulled this cover out of the Sapling vault last night at O’Brien’s. #LoveLikeAnthrax

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER! Here’s to almost ten years of nearly getting Sapling banned from an impressive variety of locations. 🎉 🔥 🍌

Our next show (and one of only two on the calendar at present) is Friday 5/16 with Conan Neutron, BEDTIMEMAGIC, and The Freqs at O’Brien’s in Allston. We just got a new batch of amor fati CDs to feed you.

People think Sapling is all tequila and slapping each other’s butts but that’s only like 60% of it.

Just randomly listening to Power Fault Theory again and truly I think this is the best recording I've ever been involved with, or at least my favorite. I'm proud of the song as a whole, the instrumentation we ended up with, the mixing... @saplingband.com saplingband.bandcamp.com/track/power-...

We've decided to order a short second run of amor fati CDs after selling out in November. We will have 100 of them! Head to our Bandcamp to pre-order your CD or CD and art book combo. saplingband.bandcamp.com/album/amor-f...

Can anyone direct us to the menu of random bands with female singers that people compare us to every single time we play? We’re on to you and when we find it we’re sharing it out on Signal. Gonna start telling all bands with three men that they make us think of Nirvana.

Putting our setlist together for April 7th when we will have the great fortune of supporting mssv: Mike Baggetta, Stephen Hodges, and the one and only Mike Watt. Oh my god I just Googled the band to triple check that I wasn't misspelling Baggetta and learned that Hodges has drummed for Tom Waits?

Greetings from Mexico! We’re gonna count this as close enough… #1137

Truly a dream. April 7th we'll be supporting mssv at Myrtle, the happiest place on earth.

You're the king of bad news.

Power metal.

Bands, musicians, fans: freakscene.us is lookin' spruced up. Easy to post local events now and, of local interest, there is now a Rhode Island "scene" forum. Share share share! #BBS #localscene #DIY #DIYordie #localshows #musicsky #punk

We reference Haruki Murakami's City and Its Uncertain Walls in a "Go To War." "Eris Worship," the video at least, is almost entirely inspired by Tom Robbin's Jitterbug Perfume. Leaves of Grass inspired "I Sing The Body Electric." Amber references too many books to mention; dunno now I'm outta space.

✌️❤️🍝

Happy 5th birthday, No Sequoia! Our debut full-length is now available free to download on our Bandcamp. Help us celebrate by sharing! saplingband.bandcamp.com/album/no-seq...

Our next show is Saturday, March 1st at Buttonwoods Brewery in Providence.

You can at least get the new Dwelley record now even though we don’t get to see them tonight! It’s so good, surprising no one. dwelley.bandcamp.com/album/loons

This is the third time we’ve had a show booked with Cheap City that fell through… We had to drop once, they had to drop once, and now snow. Make sure to catch one of their upcoming shows before Clover moves. ❤️ 💔 Not sure yet when our reschedule will land.

Due to significant and poorly-timed snow blobs in the forecast, Rainy has elected not to turn 40. Please await word from the venue if you purchased tickets. We have just received word that The Breakfast Club turns 40 today, so go watch that. #snowblobs #stayhome #foreveryoung

We'll make a call Saturday morning about the show. It's not looking good but we don't want to cancel now and wake up to "JK the storm is actually gonna miss us completely, as things sometimes go." Honestly if you have a February birthday, just do not plan anything months and months in advance.

The cover of @saplingband.com's new EP, Full Moon, was fun to make. I took a drumhead (14"?) and wrapped my sequined scarf around it with various ribbons, pearls, bits of paper, and yarn. It was disassembled as soon as I got the shot I wanted. Transient, giving way to the new moon to come.

Rainy will be playing bass with @minibeastband.bsky.social on Saturday 2/22 at Myrtle, the hottest spot. #EastProvidence

Happy full moon. saplingband.bandcamp.com/album/full-m...

Do you ever wish you could go back to a time when everything was... better? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVa2...

Just thinking of this one lately. No reason. saplingband.bandcamp.com/track/wake-u...

Mixing is done for the EP. Already hit send on the email for mastering. WALK AWAY. PUT THE LAPTOP DOWN. I'm warning you.
