Washing Machina: Blending Pop Hooks with Avant-Garde Edge

Formed in Stockholm in the spring of 2021, Washing Machina is rapidly emerging as a compelling new voice in alternative rock. Their sound is a captivating fusion of infectious pop sensibilities and adventurous, avant-garde guitar textures, forging a unique identity that draws inspiration from the raw energy of Foo Fighters, the experimental spirit of Sonic Youth, and the melodic grit of The Breeders, Pavement, and Dinosaur Jr.

The album showcases the band’s fearless creativity and marks a significant evolution in their sonic landscape, earning widespread praise:
