Committeemen

Committeemen are hard to categorize. Pulling apart myriad influences at the seams and weaving something new from the scraps, they veer into territory occupied by bands like IDLES and Osees while keeping one foot planted in the early post-punk of Gang of Four and the other kicking tires with Parquet Courts.
Committeemen write about what they know: getting pissed off about the Texas Power Grid, grappling with jealousy, or just maligning their friends’ shitty advice over a backdrop of thunderous bass, thumping drums, and a dense whirl of effected guitars.

The band leaves it all on stage every time out. DJ Gilmore-Innis (vocals/guitar), Ken Dannelley (drums), Matt Kast (bass), and Graham Bell (guitar) produce bombastic, sweaty, heart-on-their-sleeves performances that churn the humid Houston night air into a froth.
They continue to build a steady following around their energetic live performances, sharing the stage with local and touring acts like The Dwarves, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Tear Dungeon, Big Bill, 30 Foot Fall, and the Phlegms. ‘(S)HITS’, the follow-up EP to the much-lauded 2023 'EXTENDED PLAY', is out now on Rue Defense.
