This fall, Chicago’s The Webstirs will release their sixth full-length. The self-titled album was produced by longtime collaborator Matt Allison and finds the band continuing to develop their signature indie-pop sound. The Webstirs were formed in 1994 by Preston Pisellini and Mark Winkler. Their lineup also includes drummer Jordan Kozer, and newest members Gregg Juhlin, (bass) and Doug Bobenhouse, (guitar/vocals). Bobenhouse contributed with some of the songwriting on this record, which added a new dimension and helped to further evolve their sound. Check out the video for the first single below, called “Fiction,” and look for the album to be released in the coming months.

Originally a printed zine from 1998 – 2004, our goal is to provide coverage of Chicago’s expansive independent music community, and to occasionally highlight some of our past work. National and international bands will be featured as well, but above all, we hope to create lasting content for music fans everywhere.
