Биография

When Michigan-based band Poindexter formed sometime in 2018, their goal was to play thrash metal and ska. After some early lineup shifting, the band added Gracie Pryor as their lead vocalist and decided to explore a more pop-oriented sound. Poindexter ended up writing a batch of melancholic melodic songs that blended ska, pop, and indie rock. These songs became their debut self-titled EP, which was released in April 2020 independently. Shortly before the EP’s release, lead vocalist Gracie Pryor relocated to Los Angeles, CA. After a hiatus, the band began writing new material in spring 2022 and added Nate Phung (The Maxies, Odd Robot) on keys & guitar, and Kevin Hawthorne (formerly of The Radiotypes) as the band’s new lead guitarist. The band is now based out of SoCal and Michigan. In July 2023, the band’s debut album: “Treats” was released on Ska Punk International. Their current lineup consists of: Gracie Pryor (vocals), Nate Phung (keys + guitar), Nick Furlo (bass), Justin Nichols (drums), Kevin Hawthorne (guitar), Kenny Plont (trombone), Kiera Woodward (trumpet).
