Description:

Calpurnia's story is how teenage rock dreams are meant to unfold: four friends, all raised on a healthy diet of the Beatles, Nirvana and David Bowie, and a deep love for their respective instruments, retreat one day to a basement and begin jamming together. They cut their teeth on some cover songs and then, with just enough confidence and a dose of adolescent enthusiasm, they write and record their own tunes. And the results are nothing short of stunning. "It was kind of destined to be," Finn Wolfhard says of the almost serendipitous genesis of the rough-and-tumble Vancouver-based indie-rock foursome he formed with three of his now-closest friends. "We all just really clicked. And when I´m passionate about something," the singer-guitarist adds of Calpurnia, "I like to get it done as quickly as I can. There´s not a lot of wasting time. I love just going for it. Go big or go home." The band - which in addition to Wolfhard includes lead guitarist Ayla Tesler-Mabe, a six-string prodigy whose bedroom-shredding viral videos have earned her legions of fans on social media, bassist Jack Anderson and drummer Malcolm Craig - all grew up within walking distance of one another. But it took Wolfhard - best known as one of Hollywood´s hottest young actors thanks to his role as Mike Wheeler on Netflix hit series `Stranger Things´ - meeting Craig on the set of Canadian punk rockers PUP´s `Guilt Trip´ music video for things to finally spring into motion. In short order, the pair met Tesler-Mabe at a music summer camp, and she quickly introduced them to Anderson, her close childhood friend and bassist. -

Calpurnia is a Vancouver, Canada-based quartet led by singer/guitarist Finn Wolfhard, best known for his breakout performances in Stranger Things and It, and also including lead guitarist Ayla Tesler-Mabe, bassist Jack Anderson and drummer Malcolm Craig. "It's like a four-way Venn diagram," Anderson says of the band's coalescing musical tastes that seamlessly come together on their six-song debut EP, Scout, a giddy rock riot that sits comfortably at the intersection of classic rock, punk and angsty blues. It takes no more than 25 minutes, or roughly one spin through the Cadien Lake James (Twin Peaks) produced EP, to understand just exactly how well their sophisticated, diverse taste congeals into something so effortlessly powerful. From "Greyhound," a slacker anthem recalling vintage Pavement to "Louie," all Exile on Main Street-style country-blues slide guitar and choirboy harmonies, to the spaced-out closing opus "Waves," Calpurnia's songwriting craft belies not only their age but their experience as a collective unit.
