The Pynnacles + Jewelry Exchange

The Pynnacles started as a one off to celebrate Nuggets Night, an evening of music from and like the Nuggets series of records, but quickly became a powerhouse and dance floor filler in Portland. Made up of veterans from the scene, member’s former and current projects include Satan's Pilgrims, Big Elf, Paradise, Crackerbash, Starball etc. the band focuses on creating music in the vein of the period from 1965-67 when young people across the world picked up instruments in a attempt to mimic their idols and in doing so created Garage music. Pummeling, reverb drenched, organ rolling, beehive buzzing rock and roll.

Jewelry Exchange is a Portland, Oregon based band probably describable as post-punk. Better described as a mix of krautrock, noise rock, and dance punk, the boys count on influences like CAN, Slint, and Portishead. You could compare them to contemporaries like Protomartyr, Shame, and Ought.
