The Transference is an indie rock/power pop band from Chicago. Dark themes get paired with playful lines and reflections on inter- and inner-connectedness. Because if we’re going down, we might as well have some fun and love people as best we can.

Initially started as a handful of demo songs written in the middle of the pandemic after the breakup of a previous band, The Transference was founded by singer/songwriter/keyboard player Laura Hollingsworth and former bandmates Alex Karan (drums) and MJ Johnson (bass).

Featuring evocative lyrics layered over pop rock rhythms; the band's pop sound doesn't lack for complexity or attention to detail. Lush harmonies and melodic lines from lead guitarist Justin Wheeler and vocalist Andrea Santiago weave in and out between synths, vibraphone, harmonium, pedal steel, and more. Like an easter egg hunt; the band's playful lyrics and attention to detail make songs worth a second listen.

In 2025 the band signed with Hardstop Records. They will release their first LP in summer 2025.
