Moviola

**Moviola** is a long-running indie rock staple hailing from Columbus, Ohio, with roots stretching back to the early 1990s. Known for their jangly guitars, raw melodies, and a DIY ethos, the band carved out a niche in the lo-fi and alt-country scenes, blending twangy sincerity with fuzzy, home-recorded charm. Founding members like Jerry Dannemiller and Ted Hattemer have anchored the group’s evolving lineup over decades, releasing steady waves of under-the-radar gems. Their catalog—including recent entries like *Zero Sum*, *Slage Wave*, and *Broken Rainbows*—showcases their knack for crafting bittersweet, off-kilter rock songs that feel both weathered and timeless. A cult favorite, Moviola has shared stages and splits with indie icons like Guided by Voices while maintaining a fiercely independent streak, often releasing music through labels like Anyway Records. Whether live (as heard on *Broken Rainbows (Deadpan Charms and Dubious Yarns)*) or in the studio, they’ve stayed true to their scrappy, heartfelt sound.
