Tweens only formed in 2012, but has already made a name for themselves among fans—including The Breeders, who invited the band to open for them on a recent U.S. tour. The story goes that Kim Deal booked the band for one gig on the recommendation of Jim Blaze, owner of Cincinnati record shop Shake It Records, and was so impressed she brought on band to play select East Coast gigs and a full West Coast tour.

Ground Control Touring Welcomes Poliça

Posted 04/17/2019

We are excited to announce that Poliça has joined the Ground Control Touring roster. If the opening moments of Poliça’s new album, United Crushers, leave you feeling unsettled, then Channy Leaneagh has done her job.

If gravity is strong enough, at the end of time our universe will collapse, pulling all of existence back down to infinitesimal size, like before the Big Bang. But if expansion outpaces gravity, eventually the universe will be cold and empty—all light, heat, and connection…
