Sweeping Promises

Baba Yaga

DESCRIPTION Sweeping Promises was born in a disused and reverberant concrete laboratory in Cambridge, MA. Tracked with a self-devised “single-mic technique” and mixed in mono, serial band-starters Lira Mondal and CauField Schnug completed their debut, Hunger for a Way Out, just in time to enter quarantine. With only a single basement show under their belt, the band received an unexpectedly wide reception, Firstly in online punk circles, and eventually stretching beyond. In 2023, having gotten the chance to tour the USA and abroad with live drummer Spenser Gralla, the duo relocated to their new home and DIY recording compound in Lawrence, KS, and released their sophomore album, Good Living is Coming for You, on Feel It Records (US) and Sub Pop (EU/UK). The album received wide critical acclaim for its pop songwriting and idiosyncratic punk production and led to yet more touring, boosting the band’s reputation as a Fierce live act. ERASER “Hideout” LP  (Siltbreeze Records, 2025) [LISTEN] “Simon Says” (Music Video + Digital Single, 2025) [WATCH] https://www.instagram.com/wereeraser Philadelphia’s No-Wavers ERASER erupted onto the East Coast punk scene like a shattering disco ball. The group’s members Sonam, Kat, Juliette and Pier united in 2023 through their love of DIY music and their overlapping experiences in the Philly scene playing in former and con-current bands Drill, Amanda X, Corey Flood, and Privacy Issues. Since forming, Eraser has built a unique sound informed by legendary punk bands like The Slits, Malaria, and Liquid Liquid- as well as by their palpable sense of humor, and their raw, experimentally elastic approach to songwriting. Eraser have continued to grow their following by contributing a single on the comp No Occupation, and by releasing their debut EP Hideout with art rock stalwarts Siltbreeze Records.  With their debut LP, Hideout, Eraser has established a diverse palette using angular fuzz-guitar, tunneling basslines, motorik drums, discordant synth, and melodic, percussive vocals. The EP is made up of 5 diverse, yet cohesive tracks. The release starts with a suspenseful intro and quickly breaks into “Talk To Me”- which features a linear jam with hyper-infectious hooks accented by cool near-blasé vocals. Other standouts include “Simon Says” with its hilariously damaged homage to the childhood game, and Dinner Roll with its piercing synth line and wonky guitar riffage. In n the past year Eraser has provided direct support for Special Interest, Protomartyr, Tropical Fuck Storm, Tommy Wright the III, Pylon, W.I.T.C.H, Wombo, Famous Mammals, Poison Ruin and Puppet Wipes. Eraser also played two music festivals in 2025: Sled Island in Calgary and Gonerfest in Memphis, TN. "Philadelphia punks Eraser light up the dance floor of the operating room with their sterile and pristine debut post-punk artifact Hideout. The group create an arch-blasé atmosphere with a crisp meld of off-kilter fuzzy guitar, pulsing basslines, motorik drumming, wonky keys, and deadpan vocals spouting satirical prose.” - Best Punk on Bandcamp, March 2025 "The West Philadelphia quartet Eraser's debut album is crammed with the kind of electronic blurts, spiky guitar and dancefloor filling rhythms many might associate with the Rough Trade label's salad days, back when it shot out 7" EPs by the likes of Kleenex, Delta 5 and Essential Logic. These factors would make it all too easy to qualify Eraser as a throwback act, but the angst they propel is undoubtedly rooted in the present. Layered with the droll vocals of Sonam Parikh, there's an underlying contemporary menace to their spiteful groove thang.” - The Wire
