Deaf Andrews
Conceived in the daydreams of adolescence, Deaf Andrews has blossomed from their roots, into a unique sonic flower of indie pop rock. Emerging from Charlotte, NC, the band is the creative collaboration of five friends—Nick Hayes (vocals), Mike Sherrard (guitar), Ross Schumann (bass), Andrew Kingsley (guitar), and Braedon Nelson (drums)—each bringing their own unique perspective and energy to make music that is both personal and universal.
With a dedication to pushing creative boundaries and connecting emotionally, Deaf Andrews prioritizes capturing the raw, electrifying energy of their live performances. The result is a sound that is both organic and direct, channeling the spirit of classic rock and roll while embracing the experimental freedom of modern indie pop. With each release, Deaf Andrews continues to carve out their own space in the musical landscape, offering listeners a rich and dynamic experience that is as thought-provoking as it is electrifying.
The band’s latest double-single, marks a new chapter in their evolving sound. With their tracks "Wait on Me" and "Small Talk," Deaf Andrews continues to showcase their ability to blend catchy indie pop-rock with introspective, emotionally charged lyrics. "Wait on Me" playfully captures the tension of anticipation, weaving together vulnerability and hope through infectious hooks and layered instrumentation. Meanwhile, "Small Talk" takes a darker yet thoughtful approach, examining the awkwardness and disconnection that can arise in casual relationships with a punchy rhythm and a deeper lyrical undertone. Both tracks reflect the band's unique talent for turning personal experiences into relatable, engaging music that resonates with listeners on a deeper level.
