Antietam

Antietam is an American indie rock band formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1984. Initially known for their swirling, effects-laden guitar sound and the powerful vocals of Tara Key, they gained attention in the late 80s and early 90s with albums like "Rope-A-Dope" and "Erect Flower." Though they experienced some lineup changes over the years, the core of the band has remained consistent with Tara Key and Tim Harris at the helm. Their sound has evolved over time, incorporating elements of shoegaze, post-punk, and even classical influences, as evidenced by later releases like "Opus Mixtum."

Despite never achieving mainstream success, Antietam has maintained a dedicated following and continues to create and tour. Their music is often described as atmospheric and intense, with Key's lyrics exploring themes of personal struggle and resilience. Recent releases like "Tenth Life" and "Everywhere Outside" demonstrate their continued artistic growth and commitment to their unique sound.
