Movements, Can't Swim, Gleemer, Super Whatevr v RVA SHOWS
The Trigger System/RVA Shows Presents!
MOVEMENTS
Music and emotion share a timeless physiological, psychological, and spiritual bond. A chord, a melody, or a lyric can lift spirits and inspire. Movements achieve that sort of reaction on their full-length debut, Feel Something [Fearless Records]. Formed by longtime friends, the group landed a deal with Fearless Records after just one local gig. Produced by Will Yip [Tigers Jaw, Title Fight, Turnover, Citizen], their debut EP, Outgrown Things, became a fan favorite. Acclaimed by the likes of Alternative Press and New Noise Magazine, songs like “Nineteen” and “Kept” each respectively amassed over 800K Spotify streams and counting as they have toured nonstop. Along the way, the boys started working on what would become Feel Something before returning to the studio with Yip in February 2017. In the sessions, their signature style crystallized and coalesced. Ultimately, Movements bring emotion to life in each note.
CAN'T SWIM
Based out of Keansburg New Jersey, Can't Swim was founded by singer Chris LoPorto in the spring of 2015. After spending most of his life playing drums in various bands, Chris decided to step in to song writing. The songs were contagious from the start and grabbed the attention of his good friends Mike Sanchez, Danny Rico, and Greg McDevitt. Before even playing their first show, the band announced their signing to Pure Noise Records in December of 2015 and released their debut EP, "DEATH DESERVES A NAME" on February 24, 2016. They spent all of 2016 touring with bands such as; Four Year Strong, Hit the Lights, Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties, Moose Blood, Boston Manor, Set Your Goals, and Valencia.
GLEEMER
Started as the solo project of guitarist/vocalist, Corey Coffman, Gleemer blossomed into a full-fledged band throughout a string of releases, including 2015’s Moving Away, which garnered the group more attention and set the stage for Anymore. For the making of Anymore, Coffman and multi-instrumentalist Charlie O’Neil hunkered down in the home studio that Coffman built in his parent’s house and the duo created the new record piece by piece, engineering and playing everything themselves.
The resulting album resonates with the comfort of old friends and its warm blend of emotive ’90s rock and shoegaze offers a new spin on familiar textures. Coffman’s singer/songwriter influences shine through in his episodic lyrics that paint detailed scenes, recounting the smallest details that will later become significant. This attention to detail is Gleemer‘s strong suit with Coffman’s meticulous production bringing out the best in the band’s dynamics from the subdued atmospherics to the towering fuzzed-out climaxes.
SUPER WHATEVR
Super Whatevr is the aftermath of a series of wrong turns and bad decisions made by Skyler McKee. These mistakes have led Skyler to write upbeat tunes about his disgruntled daily life, creating a cornucopia of happy misery; a state of blissful despair. Their inverted-insignia ‘happy tunes for sappy dudes’ pokes fun at the current idealism of pop culture, when in actuality the further you dig into the material, the more gritty realness you encounter from the melancholy brainchild known as Super Whatevr. Super Whatevr is Skyler McKee, Thomas Waale, and Luke Mensink.
