Cloakroom is an American rock band that hails from the Region, an area in northwest Indiana known for its history with steel production and urban sprawl. The band formed in 2012 and has become known for its amalgamation of shoegaze, indie rock, and post-hardcore, creating a sound marked by down-tempo rhythms, heavy guitar fuzz, and introspective lyrical content. Comprising Doyle Martin on guitar and vocals, Robert Markos on bass, and Tim Remis on drums, the trio crafts atmospheric soundscapes that have garnered a dedicated following in the indie and underground music scenes.

Cloakroom's discography reflects an evolution in their sound and approach to songwriting, with albums like “Further Out” (2015) establishing their penchant for spacious, feedback-laden guitar work and contemplative melodies. Their subsequent releases, including “Time Well” (2017) and most recently "Dissolution Wave" (2022), continue to delve deep into themes of existentialism and the human experience, all while refining their signature blend of heaviness and melancholy. With each record, they demonstrate a commitment to pushing their sonic boundaries, not only in their studio albums but also through raw and emotive performances captured on live recording sessions, such as "Cloakroom on Audiotree Live". The single "Lossed Over" and "Big World" additionally showcase their versatility and ability to create spellbinding standalone tracks that contribute to their growing and influential body of work.
