About

The Shouting Matches is a blues rock band hailing from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, renowned for their roots-fueled sound that leans more towards Tom Petty than the indie folk of Bon Iver. The group was formed in 2006 by Justin Vernon (vocals, guitar), known for his work with Bon Iver, alongside Phil Cook (guitar, keyboards) from Megafaun, and Brian Moen (drums) of Peter Wolf Crier. Together, they craft a blend of blues rock and modern blues, characterized by a laid-back yet robust sonic landscape.
