"QUEERMORE: RIOT! for LGBTQ+ Rights" is OUT NOW!!

This is a compilation album of Paramore covers, by queer DIY bands, to raise money for queer rights.

The proceeds are now being donated to the ACLU instead of The HRC Foundation, as I was informed that HRC has a history of being shitty to trans folks.

📍PINNED POST📍

My name is Brianna Carmel. I am a 25-year old DIY musician + show promoter from Sacramento, CA who is in a few different projects.

I'd consider my main project to be my sadcore indie pop band, @bloomingheads.

We're in the middle of recording our debut album, but we've been around for a couple years, technically since late 2018. In the two years that we played shows nonstop before our current recording hiatus, we've opened for bands like Walter Etc., Crywank, and Hoity-Toity.

Here is our song Axis Access, which we submitted to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest.

I also recently joined my bandmate Josiah's main project, @little-tiny-knife. This band is very much their brainchild, a chiptune folk punk act whose music has touched my heart since I met them in 2016.

As you can see in a couple of these photos, LTK is technically a 3-piece; our bassist Jim is currently away doing Real Adult Things™️, but we're hoping for him to join us for our next show on April 2nd--we'll be opening for Local News Legend, with our friend Ash Bricky, at Golden Bear (21+).

Our debut single, Tired of Driving, is available now on spotify + bandcamp, and our next upcoming single, Roll Up Your Sleeves, is, quite frankly, a banger. Here's proof:

I'm also a solo artist in my spare time, I have been writing by myself since I was 16 and releasing my own music since I was 20.

I consider myself a singer-songwriter with a folk punk soul. My most recent solo release, the Building Blocks EP, has been described by @musicshelfwithmustard as "deeply personal and vulnerable ... as each track builds up and escalates into situations that should make a human feel uncomfortable."

In addition to all of this, I book + promote DIY shows in the Sacramento-area, under the moniker 916 Growth Gigs. I imagine this info is useless to anyone who isn't a DIY band touring through Sacramento, but, under this moniker, I am in the process of curating a compilation album of Paramore covers by queer DIY bands, to be released on bandcamp during pride month this year. All proceeds will benefit the HRC Foundation.

Currently, 16 tracks have been claimed, and it's looking to be a badass tracklist so far!

Here's a list of things I mainly post about // corresponding tags (may be updated as time goes on)...

I also reblog posts about bands + media that I enjoy; Paramore is my special interest, I really enjoy nerdy shit like Doctor Who, Star Trek, various anime series, etc.
