Since forming in 2014, Palehound — fronted by singer / songwriter Ellen Kempner – has taken their plainspoken, technique-heavy indie rock from the basements of Boston to festivals around the world. 

The band’s critically acclaimed 2015 debut album, Dry Food, landed them on numerous “Best Of 2015” lists with NPR, VICE’s Noisey, Paste Magazine, The Observer, Consequence Of Sound, The Boston Globe, The Austin Chronicle + many more. Since then the band has toured virtually non-stop, headlining club tours in both the US and the UK, as well as going out with Torres, Bully, Mitski, PWRBTTM and a variety of other bands, developing a ferocious live set in the process.

The band’s sophomore album, A Place I'll Always Go, is out June 16, 2017 on Polyvinyl Record Company.

Soft rock band expressing the feelings we get from knowing people, learning about the world we
live in, and making our own worlds. Quiet distortion, anti-metallica, alt-rock gold.
