Two Inch Astronaut was an American indie rock band that emerged from the robust DIY music scene of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Known for their intricate guitar work, angular rhythms, and thoughtful lyricism, the band carved a distinct niche within the post-hardcore and math rock landscapes. Formed in 2009 by frontman and guitarist Sam Rosenberg, Two Inch Astronaut gained a reputation for their energetic live performances and a sound that melded emotive intensity with technical precision.
Over the course of their career, Two Inch Astronaut released a series of well-received albums and EPs that showcased their evolution as musicians and songwriters. "Foulbrood" (2014) and "Personal Life" (2016) received accolades for their refined chaos and introspective content, while "Can You Please Not Help" (2017) further honed the trio's ability to balance melody with dissonance. The band demonstrated their raw live energy with "Two Inch Astronaut on Audiotree Live" (2015), which captured the essence of their concert experience. Despite their increasing momentum, Two Inch Astronaut announced an indefinite hiatus in early 2018, leaving behind a legacy of innovation within the indie rock genre. With the release of "Bad Brother (10th Anniversary Mix)" in 2021, fans were given a fresh take on one of the band's earlier works, ensuring that the spirit of Two Inch Astronaut's music continued to resonate with new and old listeners alike.
