Named after Djuna Barnes’ 1930s modernist novel, Nightwood are a rock trio born and raised in Montreal, with a sound that defies simple categorization (Indie Rock? Stoner Pop? Torch Grunge?). Their lyrical songs feature arresting vocal harmonies and intertwined guitar riffs care of the two front women (best friends Amber Goodwyn and Erin Ross) and are grounded by the inimitable drumming of Jeremy MacCuish (Cotton Mouth, Parlovr). Frequently writing songs in thematic cycles, the band’s somewhat introspective songwriting process is blown to bits by their live act: a take-no-prisoners sweaty rock show complete with hollering, laughter and tossed hair.
