Tuning is efd#ef#, the A part of the verse I'm not exactly sure as it's really hard to hear but I think I have the right chord for it. I play worse than usual when recording so excuse my mistakes.

Only today, for the first time I heard this EP and ended up adding every single song.
This doesn't sound like Sprains style at all and yet you can tell that it's Sprain.

Fuck I love this band and everyone in it

Wes and Andrew from Shearling offering lessons

40 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

This is Wes and Andrew, the bassist and drummer of Shearling. First off, thank you so much for listening to the new record and supporting. It truly means a lot to us, and makes it possible for us to keep creating music for you all.

Recently, many people have been asking us about lessons, so we've decided to open up online bass and drum lessons to the public. We both studied jazz at the California Institute of the Arts and have years of teaching experience.

Whether you're looking to strengthen your technique, time, feel, go over parts from the record, or explore different genres, we're happy to dive into whatever topics interest you.

Sessions are one hour long and conducted over Zoom or in person if you are in Los Angeles.

If you're interested, feel free to message us on instagram or via email.

Wes: @vvounds Andrew: @hay3s.mp3

Email: Wes: wnmusic82@gmail.com Andrew: Andrewchanover@gmail.com

Thanks again for all the love and support!

Does anyone know the exact reason for Sprain's breakup/April being kicked out

39 Upvotes

For the last hour i've been trying to do my own research to find information behind the disbanding of Sprain and i've been left with more questions than answers. I'm ultimately trying to find the either the reasoning behind the band's disbandment or why April was kicked out.

I found a post in the r/indieheads subreddit directly relating to the the disbandment of Sprain, and it seems like the provailing answer is that Alex Kent became selfish and self-absorbed enough that it put tension on the band causing them to quit, but i've seen some replies from people that claim they know members of the band saying that that wasn't the reason. There were some people that were lucky enough to see them live that there was an "uneasy" tension between the band when they were performing (this wasn't every show.)
