The Montaines are a Washington DC–based four-piece built around emotionally charged songwriting, infectious guitar work, and an increasingly ambitious live show. “With pumping drums that project smooth layers of electric guitars, The Montaines build contemporary alt-pop tinged with just the right amount of nostalgia.” (Ella Ehrhard, Pleaser). Drawing from the emotional weight and sonic ambition of artists including The 1975, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, and The National, The Montaines continue to develop a sound that sits between modern indie rock and the city's long tradition of boundary-pushing guitar music.
