Widowspeak is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York City. They are currently signed to Captured Tracks. The band originally consisted of two guitar players and a drummer, but the group recruited a bassist in April 2012.
History
The band formed in Brooklyn in 2010 by Tacoma, Washington natives Molly Hamilton and her friend, Michael Stasiak, whom she had known since they were teenagers. The pair met with guitarist Robert Thomas and began practicing together. According to Hamilton, she was initially so afraid of singing that she would record vocal tracks and let the other band members listen to them while she left the room: "I was really afraid of singing in front of people. And even when we would practice and write songs, I would only pretend to sing in front of them". Hamilton commented on her stage fright, saying: "There's only so many shows where you can actually be moved to tears because you're so scared. After a certain point you're little less scared than the last time. Even now, when we play a bigger show, I still get really nervous."
The band released their debut album, Widowspeak in August 2011 to critical acclaim. The single "Harsh Realm" was featured in an episode of the television series American Horror Story.
In 2012, the band recruited bassist Pamela Garabano-Coolbaugh for their subsequent tours, and plan on releasing a second album in fall 2012.
