Pearl – Love and Grief

Baltimore based punk act Pearl today have released their new album Love and Grief via 20/20 Records.

The album and its singles “Spiral,” “Act Like Sisters,” and “Party,” have earned praise and support from Bandcamp (‘Cool Band Alert’ feature), Luna Collective (feature), Under The Radar (premiere), New Noise, Loud Women, and more.

Over the years, Pearl has made a big name for themselves in the Maryland scene, with their frenetic and bass heavy sets rooted in hardcore and electronic music. The group was founded in 2018 by Sienna Cureton-Mahoney (vox) and Tommy Rouse (guitar), who were shortly thereafter joined by Jesse Hutchison (bass) and Flynn DiGuardia (drums) in 2019. All members of Pearl have been in a variety of musical projects including Celebration, Wet Brain, Hormone, Alone Time and Mallwalker.

Pearl is inspired by a wide array of punk, hardcore and metal music of the last 50 years; their influences range from 80s hardcore/post punk bands like Black Sabbath, Death, Bad Brains and Public Image Limited to the 90s bands like Bikini Kill, Babes in Toyland and Nirvana, to post 2000 influences from Nu-Metal and Electronica. Their high intensity live performances keep audiences on edge with simultaneously unexpected and seamless time changes, driving drum beats, heavy breakdowns and confrontational vocals.
