BRENNAN WEDL
This is a full circle moment for Brennan Wedl. The Minnesota-raised, Nashville-based songwriter has always felt like she was searching for herself, trying on various versions but never really feeling the euphoric ease that comes with finding comfort in one’s own skin.Through experimentation in spirituality and empowerment, devoting time and energy into her craft and learning to lean into a playful, carefree outlook, Wedl is experiencing the delicious life moments with a renewed clarity. On her self-titled album––and debut for ANTI––she shakes off the prying eyes of expectation, leaving behind the anxiety of forming yourself for others and welcoming in the delight of finally being exactly who you are.
Wedl is already a prolific artist, releasing solo music since 2012, and co-founding the queercore outfit Dazey & The Scouts in 2015. The band, she says, taught her about “complete vulnerability and collaboration,” and their surprise viral success on social media fuelled the next stepping stone in Wedl’s career.“It’s shown me the humanity that live music can create,” she says of the unexpected attention on the band.“It’s taught me so much about songwriting as collective care.”After a string of solo singles in 2024, Wedl’s latest LP gathers those foundation-cracking moments that make up a life, and sees her fully immersed in the lessons they create.
SUB*T
Every musician starts off as a fan. Enthusiasm, fixation, denying all self-consciousness in pursuit of your own thrills…these are the values that propel ordinary people deep into fandom. For Grace Bennett and Jade Alcantara, that fervor also propelled their virtual 2010’s Twitter friendship into a band called Sub*T. What started as a cross-country online bond over stan culture—Bennett fighting for the honor of One Direction, Alcantara waving the banner of The 1975—led first to an Instagram follow, then to the mosh pit (where they met IRL several times a year), and eventually to a life-changing decision. In 2019 and with zero prior musical experience, they each bought guitars and taught themselves how to play, and Sub*T was born. While now a fully New York-based band, their sound is better defined by this origin story. Since meeting, Bennett and Alcantara have allowed themselves to be guided not by the pull of their surroundings and the pressure to be at the cutting edge, but by the force that first united them as teenagers on the internet: fandom. And on their debut LP How My Own Voice Sounds, they come into their own, riding the wave of their love for classic alt-rock, grunge, and indie rock and arriving at a place that’s decidedly their own.
