Enumclaw

Proud sons of the Pacific Northwest, Enumclaw are a band whose music has roots in the moody side of the alternative rock sounds of the 1990s, with an added pop sensibility and more than a bit of the swagger of the Brit-pop era. Dominated by chunky rhythm guitars and lyrics that are introspective and outspoken, Enumclaw's alt-rock classicism is filtered through the fresh eyes of budding musicians educated in everything from pop to hip-hop. The band had already earned a potent buzz before they ever played a show, thanks to the enthusiastic reception accorded their debut release, 2021's Jimbo Demo, and their first full-length album, 2022's Save the Baby. Two years later, Home in Another Life found them strengthening their alt-rock core while addressing angsty subject matter like family and life struggles and the quest for self-acceptance.
