about

Most songs were written and demoed just before the pandemic. The original plan was to heavily rehearse / gig the new songs and record them live in the studio, as a seasoned five-piece band. But that plan changed drastically in March 2020: everyone ended up individually recording their parts at home, during the darkest days of the pandemic / lockdown.

about

The Weisstronauts Boston, Massachusetts

The Boston-based Weisstronauts are a difficult-to-pigeonhole instrumental rock band employing three electric guitars.

"Then there’s the Weisstronauts, who toss major surf rock influences into a blender with everything else they’ve ever even sort of liked and pull out songs built on combinations that look insane on paper but absolutely kill once you hear them."
- Richard Bouchard
Boston Band Crush
