He’s been playing drums in Los Angeles’ Flat Worms and getting back together with his NYC bandmates in The Babies, but he’s also been crafting his own songs under the name Night Shop. Under this moniker, Sullivan has released two LPs and two 12” EPs and toured supporting, Widowspeak, Shannon Lay and Waxahatchee. Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield once described Sullivan as “a well-read modern day Buddy Holly” and on his new record, \u003cem\u003eThe Beloved Returns,\u003c\/em\u003e he raises the bar of both the literary allusions and the rock’n’roll.

On the sonic end, the record is louder and faster than any Night Shop record before, a result of Sullivan’s collaboration with the Summer Cannibals’ Jessica Bourdeaux who produced the record, with songs like the opener “Ode To Joy II” coming fast out of the gate quickly followed by “Let Me Be the Lamb.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rough Trade Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51358383407435,"sku":"R0027-0125","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375024005.jpg?v=1740748918"},{"product_id":"greg","title":"Greg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVisual Learner doesn’t believe that “pop-punk” is a dirty word but the Minneapolis four piece make a conscious effort to put an emphasis on the punk parts of their sound, with lots of noisiness thrown in for good measure. Like any Minneapolis band with scrappy melodic songs, there are regularly comparisons to bands like Hüsker Dü. But the members of Visual Learner have decades of contemporary DIY experience between them in bands from New England, The South and The Midwest. It wasn’t until the last five years that the members (Zac Mayeux - vocals, guitar Avery Taylor - guitar, backing vocals Morgan Purcell - bass, backing vocals (lead on “Cure All”) Tim Chandler – drums) all relocated to Minneapolis having previously put in time in Notches, Scrounger, Kira Jari, Billy Raygun, Rag Rage and Coordinated Suicides among many others. Greg was recorded by Matt Castore at Soft Cult Studios in Minneapolis, mixed by Jeff Burke (Marked Men, Radioactivity), mastered by Will Killingsworth (Orchid, Ampere) at Dead Air Studios. The record powers through ten songs in under 30 minutes dealing with loss and grief, ego, shit jobs all with a sense of self-awareness. Standouts like “Columns” “In a Snare” “Factual Heckler” and “Cure-All” showcase the bands dark but melodic brand of pop-punk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salinas Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":52326405144907,"sku":"R0970-3931","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375051497.jpg?v=1750415516"},{"product_id":"look-what-i-found","title":"Look What I Found","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWavers is a huge-hearted, melodic, indie rock band influenced by D.IY. punk, beloved friends, changing seasons, and a world in decline. Jake writes complex melodic lead bass guitar, Charlie adds skillful drumming and soaring harmonies, Josh’s guitar detonates controlled explosions all over the place, and Rosie’s vocals and indie pop compositions provide the warm, humanist center. The songs on their debut LP \u003cem\u003eLook What I Found\u003c\/em\u003e explore beloved friends and lovers, environments built and natural, seasonality, listening to music in cars, jumping in always-changing rivers etc. Some folks say they sound like one-off self-released 7”s from 1995. This is raw indie-rock for punk kids with Discount, rather than Discharge, back patches. Wavers began in summer 2021 when Jake, Josh and Charlie wrote and demoed five songs and sent them to new friend Rosie, who wrote vocals and lyrics within the week. Those tracks became their self-titled EP, released by Musical Fanzine in summer 2024.
